NVIDIA Vera Rubin brings us to a new frontier of agentic AI

The NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform is creating the next frontier of agentic AI with seven new chips: the NVIDIA Vera central processing unit (CPU), NVIDIA Rubin graphics processing unit (GPU), NVIDIA NVLink 6 switch, NVIDIA ConnectX-9 SuperNIC, NVIDIA BlueField-4 data processing unit (DPU) and NVIDIA Spectrum-6 Ethernet switch, as well as the newly-integrated NVIDIA Groq 3 language processing unit (LPU).

Designed to operate together as a single AI supercomputer, the chips power every phase of AI — from massive-scale pretraining, post-training and test-time scaling to real-time agentic inference. 

Through deep codesign across compute, networking and storage, supported by an ecosystem of more than 80 NVIDIA MGX ecosystem partners with a global supply chain, NVIDIA Vera Rubin offers the most extensive NVIDIA  pod-scale platform — a supercomputer where multiple racks purpose-built for AI work together as one massive, coherent system, NVIDIA said.

“Vera Rubin is a generational leap — seven breakthrough chips, five racks, one giant supercomputer — built to power every phase of AI,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. 

“The agentic AI inflection point has arrived with Vera Rubin kicking off the greatest infrastructure buildout in history.”

AI labs and frontier model developers including Anthropic, Meta, Mistral AI and OpenAI are looking to use the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform to train larger, more capable models and to serve long-context, multimodal systems at lower latency and cost than with prior GPU generations.

“Enterprises and developers are using Claude for increasingly complex reasoning, agentic workflows and mission-critical decisions. That demands infrastructure that can keep pace,” said Dario Amodei, CEO and cofounder of Anthropic. 

“NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform gives us the compute, networking and system design to keep delivering while advancing the safety and reliability our customers depend on.”

“NVIDIA infrastructure is the foundation that lets us keep pushing the frontier of AI,” said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. 

“With NVIDIA Vera Rubin, we’ll run more powerful models and agents at massive scale and deliver faster, more reliable systems to hundreds of millions of people.”

According to NVIDIA, AI infrastructure is evolving from discrete chips and standalone servers to fully-integrated rack-scale systems, POD-scale deployments, AI factories and sovereign AI. These advances are driving dramatic gains in performance, improving cost efficiency for organisations of all sizes and across industries, while helping democratise access to AI and improve energy efficiency to power the world’s most demanding workloads. 

New systems include the: 

- NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack 

- NVIDIA Vera CPU rack

- NVIDIA Groq 3 LPX rack

- NVIDIA BlueField-4 STX storage rack

- NVIDIA Spectrum-6 SPX Ethernet rack

NVIDIA, along with over 200 data centre infrastructure partners, also announced the NVIDIA DSX platform for Vera Rubin. DSX covers AI factory design and deployment. NVIDIA further released the Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design,  a blueprint for codesigned AI infrastructure that maximises tokens per watt and overall goodput.
