CoreWeave Completes Industry-First Bring-Up and Validation of NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72
Agentic AI is reshaping infrastructure requirements. As models reach a trillion parameters, context windows extend to millions of tokens, and persistent reasoning sessions become standard, inference performance has emerged as the defining constraint on how quickly AI companies can operate and grow.
NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 — featuring 72 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs and 36 NVIDIA Vera CPUs per rack, connected via a 260 TB/s NVIDIA NVLink 6th-generation fabric — delivers up to 10× better inference per watt, up to one-fourth fewer GPUs, and one-tenth the cost per million tokens compared to NVIDIA Blackwell1. With
"Our research depends on infrastructure that's both powerful and reliable, and CoreWeave has delivered on this as we've scaled across NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell," said

To allow customer to take better advantage of
- Software-Defined Liquid Cooling: Valvey is CoreWeave's programmable per-rack valve assembly which turns cooling from a passive mechanical system into a software-defined, rack-level control surface. Part of CoreWeave Mission Control, Valvey monitors flow rate, temperature, pressure, and leak-detection in real time, enabling automated isolation, emergency shutdown, and maintenance without disrupting neighboring racks on a shared cooling loop.
-
Unified Rack Control: Racky is a new unified rack control appliance specifically designed for aggregating power, cooling, and environmental sensors into a standardized management surface, allowing each
Vera Rubin rack to be managed as a cloud resource rather than a custom one-off build. - Multi-Rail, Multi-Plane Networking: CoreWeave supports both NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand and NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet with RDMA over Converged Ethernet RoCE, with a non-blocking, multi-rail, multi-plane RoCE fabric delivering 1.6 Tb/s of backend bandwidth per GPU. The Spectrum-X Ethernet architecture scales to configurations of hundreds of thousands of GPUs in two network tiers.

Secure, Scalable AI Cloud Operations: CoreWeave is advancing secure, multi-tenant AI cloud operations with NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs, enabling faster data access, lower latency, and stronger tenant isolation at scale. BlueField-4 offloads and accelerates infrastructure services, allowing tenants to run workloads across the full
Vera Rubin computing platform while preserving control and security.
"The agentic era demands a fundamentally different approach to infrastructure, one that keeps pace with workloads that reason continuously, scale unpredictably, and operate in production around the clock," said
“Vera Rubin is the most capable AI platform NVIDIA has ever built,” said
