Nvidia starts shipping Vera CPUs to OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX AI right before earnings
Nvidia has begun shipping its new Vera AI CPUs to OpenAI, Anthropic, Oracle, and SpaceX’s AI group. These CPUs are built to work alongside Nvidia’s GPUs in the Vera Rubin platform, aimed at larger AI training and inference workloads.
