Case Study: Norby achieves rapid LLM training and an AI-powered language companion with Dell Technologies' Precision AI-Ready workstations

Adopting AI technology to power Norby, the robot language companion

Norby, a tech innovation startup building an AI robot companion for language learners and speech therapy, needed a partner with market-leading AI credentials and the infrastructure to run and fine-tune large language models, accelerate program animation and handle heavy CAD/render workloads. Norby turned to Dell Technologies, using Dell Precision AI-Ready workstations powered by NVIDIA RTX GPUs and the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA to support on-device model development, speech recognition, personalization and hardware design.

Dell Technologies provided high-performance workstations and AI infrastructure that let Norby train and fine-tune LLMs locally, speed up iteration cycles, and handle compute‑intensive CAD and rendering tasks more reliably. The result: models that once ran overnight now complete within an hour, renderings and workloads are more dependable, updates are more efficient via edge computing, and language support has expanded from about 20 languages to more than 40 — enabling faster product development and improved learning outcomes.
