Deloitte Canada has launched an Open Model Engineering practice to help enterprises and governments build agentic AI systems using open models, open-source engineering, and proprietary tools where needed. The practice will initially serve clients in Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific, targeting flexibility, cost predictability, data sovereignty, IP protection, model control, and inference transparency.
Early work will focus on NVIDIA Nemotron open models and NIM microservices, while Deloitte’s Zora AI platform will support deployment, optimization, and governance of open-model agents. Deloitte also plans to hire, train, and certify forward deployed engineers through fiscal 2027 to scale the practice globally.
