Deloitte Launches Global Open Model Engineering Practice for Enterprise AI
Deloitte has launched its new Open Model Engineering practice to assist clients in deploying enterprise AI applications using a combination of open-source and proprietary models. The initiative aims to provide greater flexibility, cost predictability, data sovereignty, and control over intellectual property and model behavior. Initially focused on North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, the service will help organizations design, deploy, and operate AI solutions tailored to their specific business needs. The practice is part of Deloitte's broader expansion in AI services, responding to growing demand for open models that offer deployment flexibility and cost management. The firm plans to hire and train engineers through fiscal year 2027 to support the initiative globally. By leveraging NVIDIA Nemotron open models and NIM microservices, Deloitte aims to help clients build Sovereign AI stacks while enhancing security and fine-tuning for regional contexts.
