Ian Buck hand-delivers the first NVIDIA Vera CPU systems to Anthropic, OpenAI, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and SpaceXAI — marking the moment agentic CPUs move from announcement to production.
Agentic AI has always called for a different kind of CPU. NVIDIA CEO and founder Jensen Huang introduced the answer — the standalone Vera CPU — at GTC San Jose in March as NVIDIA’s next multi-billion dollar business.
On Friday, that CPU went from NVIDIA’s labs into customer hands.
The first NVIDIA Vera CPUs arrived at three of the world’s leading AI labs on Friday — Anthropic in San Francisco, OpenAI in Mission Bay, SpaceXAI in Palo Alto — followed by a delivery to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in Santa Clara on Monday. NVIDIA Vice President of Hyperscale and High-Performance Computing Ian Buck hand-delivered them.
“Agentic AI is creating a new CPU moment in the AI factory — as models move from answering to acting, Vera is purpose-built to keep that work moving at scale,” Buck said.
