Salesforce and Nvidia's new reasoning model is everything the AI labs should fear

AnnouncementModelSep 15, 2026

Salesforce announced Koa, its first reasoning model, built on Nvidia's open-weight Nemotron model, at Dreamforce this week. The two companies post-trained Koa for sales, marketing, and customer-support tasks using synthetic data rather than actual customer data. Salesforce says Koa uses fewer tokens than frontier models and will be offered as an alternative within its Agentforce platform, which routes requests through an AI gateway. Salesforce also announced a partnership with Anthropic called Claudeforce.
