SpaceXAI Adopts NVIDIA Vera CPU to Accelerate Agentic AI at Massive Scale

News Summary:

• SpaceXAI will deploy NVIDIA Vera CPUs to accelerate the work behind its next generation of agentic AI workloads.
• SpaceXAI is expanding its AI infrastructure for Grok with the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform as it scales toward gigawatts of computing capacity.
• SpaceXAI plans to extend its use of NVIDIA accelerated computing into space, with the first-generation Starmind AI satellite based on an optimized NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 system.

NVIDIA announced that SpaceXAI will deploy NVIDIA Vera CPUs to accelerate its next generation of agentic AI applications, bringing the first CPU built for AI agents to one of the world’s most ambitious AI deployments.

Agentic AI applications increasingly rely on CPUs to orchestrate tools, execute code, process data and run simulations between model calls. SpaceXAI will use Vera to accelerate these application workloads, helping AI agents act faster while keeping GPUs fed and fully utilized.

SpaceXAI plans to expand its AI infrastructure behind Grok on NVIDIA Vera Rubin, while extending an optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 into space with its first-generation Starmind satellite.

“Agentic AI requires a new kind of computing system — one built not only to generate answers, but to take action,” said Ian Buck, vice president of hyperscale and high-performance computing at NVIDIA. “Vera gives AI agents the CPU performance to act in real time — executing code, processing data and coordinating complex tasks. SpaceXAI is taking this architecture from massive AI factories to the next frontier of computing in orbit.”

“Vera gives us the CPU performance and memory bandwidth to run enormous amounts of orchestration, code and data processing while keeping GPUs doing what they do best,” said Mike Nicolls, president of SpaceXAI. “That means higher-performance AI agents and more useful work from every watt of compute.”

SpaceXAI Scales AI Infrastructure With NVIDIA Vera Rubin

At massive scale, AI infrastructure must support demanding training, reasoning and inference workloads while maximizing performance, power efficiency and utilization. NVIDIA Vera Rubin is codesigned across compute, networking and software to optimize the AI factory as a whole.

The platform brings together NVIDIA accelerated computing, NVIDIA NVLink™ interconnect technology, NVIDIA Spectrum-X™ Ethernet networking, NVIDIA BlueField® data processing and NVIDIA software in an integrated architecture designed to deliver high performance and energy efficiency at scale while driving down cost per token.

As SpaceXAI expands toward gigawatts of computing capacity, Vera Rubin provides a common architecture to efficiently scale its next generation of AI factories — a foundation SpaceXAI plans to take beyond terrestrial data centers and into orbital computing.
