Nebius AI Cloud 3.1 Delivers Next-Generation NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra Compute with Transparent Capacity Management for AI at Scale

Key Terms

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.

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.

hipaa regulatory

A U.S. law that sets rules for keeping individuals’ health information private and secure, and for how that information can be shared. Think of it as a mandatory lock-and-key system for medical records that hospitals, insurers, and tech vendors must use. Investors care because failing to follow these rules can lead to big fines, costly remediation, loss of business access to patient data, and reputational damage that can hurt a company’s finances and growth prospects.

vpc technical

A ventricular premature contraction (VPC) is an extra, early heartbeat that starts in the lower chambers of the heart and can feel like a skipped or pounding beat. Investors care because VPCs reported in drug or device studies can signal potential heart-related side effects that affect patient safety, regulatory review, market approval, and ultimately a company’s commercial prospects—similar to a warning light on a car that prompts deeper inspection.

iam technical

Identity and access management (IAM) is the system and policies a company uses to control who can access its digital systems, data and applications—think of it as the set of keys, locks and visitor rules for a building’s computer network. Strong IAM reduces the risk of data breaches, fraud and regulatory fines, so investors pay attention because weaknesses can lead to costly outages, damage to reputation and legal liabilities that affect a company’s value.

microservices technical

Microservices are a way of designing software systems as a collection of small, independent parts that work together to perform a larger function. Each part handles a specific task, making the system more flexible and easier to update or fix. For investors, understanding microservices can reveal how a company's technology is structured, potentially impacting its agility, efficiency, and ability to innovate.

single sign-on technical

Single sign-on is a technology that lets a person log in once and then access multiple applications or systems without re-entering credentials, like using one key that opens every door in a building. For investors, it matters because it can reduce IT support costs, speed employee workflows and improve user experience, while also concentrating cybersecurity risk and affecting compliance posture—factors that influence operational efficiency and potential liability.

• NVIDIA HGX B300 and GB300 NVL72 systems with 800 Gbps NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand — Europe’s first GB300 NVL72 on this fabric — deliver next-generation performance for large-scale AI training and inference

• New Capacity Blocks and real-time dashboard features provide transparent visibility into GPU availability, enabling precise resource planning and operational efficiency at scale

• Aether 3.1 also delivers enhanced AI/ML developer tooling, expanded ecosystem integrations and granular enterprise-grade governance controls, accelerating time-to-value while reducing risk

AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nebius today announced Nebius AI Cloud 3.1, bringing next-generation NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra compute and enhanced operational capabilities to the latest release of its full-stack AI cloud platform. Version 3.1 builds on the foundations of Nebius AI Cloud “Aether”, adding transparent capacity management and expanded infrastructure to deliver the operational visibility and resource-planning capabilities that customers need as they scale AI in production.

As customers move beyond experiments to large-scale adoption, they are identifying clear operational priorities, including real-time visibility into GPU capacity across regions, transparent resource allocation for multi-team environments, and access to next-generation compute as models grow in complexity. Nebius AI Cloud 3.1 addresses these needs across three dimensions.

Nebius is deploying NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra infrastructure globally, with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems and NVIDIA HGX B300 systems already being used by customers. Nebius is now the first cloud in Europe to operate both platforms in production. Nebius AI Cloud is also the first provider globally to run production GB300NVL72 systems on 800 Gbps NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand interconnect — doubling throughput for distributed workloads. This, alongside hardware-accelerated networking and enhanced storage caching that eliminate infrastructure bottlenecks, further complements leading results in MLPerf® Training v5.1 benchmarks.

To meet enterprise demands for operational transparency, version 3.1 introduces Capacity Blocks and a real-time Capacity Dashboard that give customers complete visibility into their reserved GPU capacity and availability across all data center regions. Project-level quotas and new lifecycle object storage rules extend granular control over resource allocation and costs.

The Nebius AI Cloud platform ecosystem is also continuing to expand. Beyond a new native integration with Dstack, version 3.1 simplifies deployment and consumption of NVIDIA BioNeMo NIM microservices, including Boltz2, Evo-2, GenMol, and MolMIM, without requiring NGC keys or NVIDIA AI Enterprise licenses. Additional features focused on developer usability include enhanced Slurm-based orchestration with Manager Soperator, FOCUS-compliant billing exports and various console UX improvements.

The latest release also builds on Aether's enterprise-ready security foundation with object storage data-plane audit logs for HIPAA compliance, per-object access controls, and VPC security groups. Enhanced IAM with Microsoft Entra ID integration and granular service roles provide stronger governance with simplified administration, advancing the compliance capabilities that enable customers in highly regulated sectors and government to deploy production AI workloads.

Nebius will hold a technical walkthrough webinar on Nebius AI Cloud 3.1 including a live Q&A session on January 29, at 6 p.m. CET / midday EST / 9 a.m. PST. Please register here for more information.
