NVIDIA has delivered its first Vera CPUs — purpose-built for agentic AI workloads — to Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The Vera CPU features 88 custom Olympus cores, 1.2 TB/s memory bandwidth, and 50% faster per-core performance compared to traditional designs. It is designed to handle the orchestration, tool calls, long-context retrieval, and sandboxing demands that AI agents place on CPU infrastructure rather than GPUs. OCI is the first cloud provider to deploy Vera at hyperscale, with plans for hundreds of thousands of units starting in 2026. Vera also serves as the host processor in the Vera Rubin NVL72 system, pairing with Rubin GPUs via NVLink-C2C in a unified memory architecture.
