[NVIDIA: SpaceXAI to Deploy Vera CPU for Accelerated Agent-Based AI and Expand Vera Rubin Platform to Spaceborne Computing] BlockBeats News, August 24 — NVIDIA officially announced that SpaceXAI will deploy the NVIDIA Vera CPU to accelerate its next-generation agent-based AI applications. Vera is the first CPU specifically designed for AI agents, featuring 88 NVIDIA-developed Olympus cores, spatial multithreading technology, and LPDDR5X high-bandwidth memory with a bandwidth of 1.2TB/s. In scenarios such as agent-based AI, reinforcement learning, and data processing, it can achieve up to 1.8x faster task completion compared to x86 CPUs. SpaceXAI President Mike Nicolls stated that Vera's CPU performance and memory bandwidth are sufficient to support large-scale task orchestration, code execution, and data processing, ensuring GPUs operate at peak efficiency and delivering greater effective output per watt of computation. SpaceXAI also plans to expand the AI infrastructure behind Grok based on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, advancing toward gigawatt-scale computing capacity. Vera Rubin integrates NVIDIA accelerated computing, NVLink interconnect, Spectrum-X networking, and BlueField data processing technologies, aiming to reduce per-token costs and improve the overall energy efficiency of AI factories. Even more noteworthy, SpaceXAI will launch an optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 system into space. Its first-generation Starmind AI satellite will adopt this rack-level architecture, marking NVIDIA's first iconic deployment of accelerated computing extending from terrestrial data centers to orbital computing.
