Lucid Motors is the First Customer to Benefit from the Combination of SoundHound's Advanced Voice AI and NVIDIA AI Enterprise, Providing Enhanced Performance, Accuracy, and Efficiency

SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN), a global leader in voice artificial intelligence, today announced an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA, integrating NVIDIA AI Enterprise to accelerate inference and retrieval capabilities.

By integrating SoundHound's world-class voice AI technology with NVIDIA NIM and NeMo microservices— part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform—SoundHound is driving low-latency AI processing, real-time retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and scalable model optimization—helping businesses deploy more responsive and cost-efficient AI solutions.

This expanded collaboration reinforces SoundHound's commitment to delivering industry-leading voice AI solutions by enhancing the company's AI-powered offerings across industries, including automotive, restaurant, and customer service. The integration reduces inference latency, improves response accuracy, and optimizes AI deployments for both cloud and edge environments. Key NVIDIA AI Enterprise innovations coming to SoundHound's advanced voice platform include:

• Optimized AI Inference using NVIDIA NIM Microservices
  • NIM microservices enable containerized and high-speed inference for LLMs, significantly reducing response latency.
• Smarter Retrieval with NVIDIA NeMo Retriever Microservices for RAG
  • NeMo Retriever microservices enhance context-aware RAG by quickly surfacing highly relevant responses, improving AI-driven interactions.
• Scalable Model Fine-Tuning with NVIDIA NeMo
  • With NeMo, SoundHound can fine-tune and optimize LLMs across multi-GPU environments, ensuring efficient, high-performance AI at scale.

SoundHound's integration of NVIDIA AI Enterprise software is already playing a role in automotive AI, including in Lucid's voice AI system. Currently, select modules within the Lucid Assistant leverage SoundHound and NVIDIA AI to enhance specific functionalities such as faster response times and improved user interactions. SoundHound is working to expand NVIDIA AI software integrations across additional modules, bringing even greater efficiency and intelligence to automotive voice experiences.
