CoreWeave Completes Industry-First Bring-Up and Validation of NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72

Key Terms

nvidia nvlink technical

NVLink is NVIDIA’s high-speed chip-to-chip connection that lets graphics processors and other chips share large amounts of data much faster than standard wiring. Think of it as a dedicated express lane between processors that reduces delays and lets multiple chips act like a single, more powerful engine; for investors, that can translate into stronger performance for data-center and AI workloads, greater product differentiation, and potential revenue and margin benefits.

infiniBand technical

Infiniband is a high-speed data transport technology used inside data centers to move large amounts of information quickly and with very little delay, often used for servers, storage and computing clusters. Investors should care because it acts like a multilane expressway for data—companies that build, use or support such fast networks can gain competitive advantages in cloud services, high-performance computing and AI workloads, which can affect costs and revenue potential.

rdma over converged ethernet technical

RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) is a networking method that lets one computer copy data directly into another computer’s memory across an Ethernet network, bypassing the usual processing steps. Like handing a file straight to a colleague instead of routing it through several desks, it cuts delay and frees up CPU power, which matters to investors because it can lower infrastructure costs, boost performance for cloud, storage and trading applications, and create operational or competitive advantages.

dpu technical

Distributions per unit (DPU) is the amount of cash or income paid to each unit holder of a trust, real estate investment trust (REIT) or similar pooled investment for a given period. It tells investors how much cash income they received per unit, like getting a fixed slice of a pie for every share you own, and helps compare yield and judge whether the payout level is steady, growing or at risk.

mlperf technical

A standardized set of performance tests for machine learning systems that measures how fast and efficiently hardware and software can train and run AI models. Like a car mileage test for computers, MLPerf lets investors compare different vendors on speed, energy use and cost for AI workloads, helping predict which technologies will be more competitive, scalable and profitable as demand for AI grows.

hyperscale technical

Hyperscale describes the ability of a system or operation to grow rapidly and handle extremely large amounts of work or data. It’s like a massive factory that can quickly expand its production capacity to meet soaring demand. For investors, hyperscale indicates a business’s potential to scale efficiently, often leading to increased growth and profitability.

high-performance computing technical

A cluster of very powerful computers, special chips and fast networks designed to tackle huge, complex calculations far faster than a normal PC — like replacing a single delivery van with a synchronized fleet to move a city’s worth of packages. For investors, high-performance computing matters because it enables faster product development, more accurate simulations and data analysis, and new revenue streams for hardware, software and services, making firms that supply or use it potentially more competitive and scalable.

nvme technical

NVMe is a fast data-transport standard that lets modern solid-state drives (SSDs) move information much more quickly and efficiently than older interfaces, acting like a wider, faster highway between storage and a computer’s processor. For investors, NVMe matters because it boosts device and server performance, can lower operating costs and power use in data centers, and influences which products and suppliers are competitive in markets where speed and efficiency drive revenue and margins.

CoreWeave is the first AI cloud provider to stand up a fully validated and operational Vera Rubin NVL72, delivering the purpose-built innovations that unlock NVIDIA's most advanced AI system for the agentic era

LIVINGSTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CoreWeave, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWV), The Essential Cloud for AI™, today announced its bring up of NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 on CoreWeave Cloud. Leveraging its purpose-built software and engineering solutions, CoreWeave is the first AI cloud provider to bring up Vera Rubin, extending the CoreWeave platform’s support for NVIDIA hardware. The milestone achievement includes the completion of rigorous system-level validation for the entire rack scale architecture.

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 Vera Rubin, CoreWeave will deliver better results for customers.

"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 Craig Falls, head of Quantitative Research at Jane Street. "Their ability to deliver highly performant clusters with full cluster observability and a support team that engages deeply on hard problems gives us the confidence to partner with them on Vera Rubin. We are excited about the efficiency gains at rack scale translating into faster training runs and shorter iteration cycles for our researchers."

Purpose-Built Infrastructure for Rack-Scale AI, Powered by CoreWeave Mission Control^™

To allow customer to take better advantage of Vera Rubin at production scale, CoreWeave developed a new set of purpose-built innovations:

• 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 Chen Goldberg, executive vice president of Product & Engineering at CoreWeave. "What separates infrastructure that performs in a lab from infrastructure that performs in production is the depth of engineering underneath it. With patent-pending innovations like Valvey and Racky, CoreWeave has done the full-stack orchestration work to enable Vera Rubin to perform the way it was designed to, not just in a lab, but at production scale for the world's most demanding AI teams.”

“Vera Rubin is the most capable AI platform NVIDIA has ever built,” said Ian Buck, vice president of Hyperscale and High-Performance Computing (HPC) at NVIDIA. “CoreWeave has consistently been at the frontier of deploying each new generation of NVIDIA architecture at scale, and their full-stack, end-to-end approach to Vera Rubin, from cooling to orchestration, is how the world’s most ambitious AI teams will push the next AI frontier.”

Built on a Foundation of Deep Technical Partnerships

Bringing a rack-scale platform like Vera Rubin NVL72 to production requires tight collaboration across the entire infrastructure stack. CoreWeave’s ecosystem of technology partners is central to how Vera Rubin reaches customers at speed and scale. Dell Technologies provided the architectural backbone for the platform through its high-performance PowerEdge XE9812 servers. The bring up also features Micron 7600 SSDs, delivering improved energy efficiency through one of the first liquid-cooled NVMe storage solutions deployed at rack-scale.

“Dell Technologies and CoreWeave share a commitment to delivering innovation that performs at the frontier of what AI demands,” said Michael Dell, chairman and chief executive at Dell Technologies. “The PowerEdge XE9812 was engineered for exactly this kind of density and precision. Working with CoreWeave to bring up the first NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack is a direct validation of what enterprise-grade hardware can do when it’s paired with the right operational expertise.”

CoreWeave consistently delivers industry-leading performance, demonstrated by record-breaking MLPerf benchmark results, its position as the only AI cloud to earn the top Platinum ranking in both SemiAnalysis ClusterMAX™ 1.0 and 2.0, and its #1 ranking for inference speed and price-performance for Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2.6 in independent inference benchmarking conducted by Artificial Analysis.
