FuriaHubSpaceXAI will run agentic Grok on NVIDIA Vera CPUs and fly Vera Rubin in Starmind
The company will deploy Vera CPUs for agentic Grok and expand terrestrial Vera Rubin toward gigawatt capacity. First-generation Starmind satellites are based on an optimized Vera Rubin NVL72.
On August 24 NVIDIA said SpaceXAI will deploy Vera CPUs to accelerate agentic Grok and expand terrestrial Vera Rubin toward gigawatt-scale capacity. First-generation Starmind satellites will be based on an optimized Vera Rubin NVL72. Mike Nicolls is quoted in the announcement.
What we know
- SpaceXAI will deploy Vera CPUs for agentic Grok and grow terrestrial Vera Rubin toward gigawatt capacity.
- The first-generation Starmind satellite is based on an optimized Vera Rubin NVL72.
- Vera has 88 Olympus cores and up to 1.2 TB/s of LPDDR5X bandwidth.
- NVIDIA says Vera is up to 1.8 times faster than x86 on agentic, reinforcement-learning, and data workloads.
Takeaways
- The CPU story is aimed at agentic Grok, not a generic cloud refresh.
- Starmind’s first satellites inherit a Vera Rubin NVL72 design.
- The speed claim is limited to agentic, RL, and data workloads against x86.
