On Wednesday, Caterpillar Inc. said it broadened its collaboration with NVIDIA to integrate Artificial Intelligence into its construction, mining and power equipment, factories, job sites and supply chains to automate and speed manufacturing processes. The company unveiled the Cat AI Assistant at CES 2026 and said it is building digital twins of its factories to plan and optimize production before physical construction.
The Cat AI Assistant was developed using NVIDIA Riva open speech models and will use Caterpillar’s data to answer questions and offer personalized recommendations on equipment, parts and maintenance. Caterpillar said the assistant is intended to support operations and decision-making across its product lines.
Caterpillar described digital twins as physically accurate virtual models of its factories that allow designers and engineers to simulate layouts and production processes. The company said these simulations will help optimize workflows and reduce risks before changes are made in the real world.
Market reaction followed the announcement: shares of Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) slipped about 4% on Wednesday, while shares of NVIDIA (NVDA) gained about 1%. Year-to-date performance cited in the company’s update showed CAT up roughly 66% and NVDA up roughly 35%.
“As AI moves beyond data to reshape the physical world, it is unlocking new opportunities for innovation — from job sites and factory floors to offices,” said CEO Joe Creed. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits remained bullish for CAT and rose to extremely bullish for NVDA, with message volume reported as high.
