NVIDIA wprowadza Rubin NVL72 – rewolucja w bezpieczeństwie AI fabryk

Czy da się budować „AI fabryki” bez ryzyka, że jedna pomyłka w konfiguracji otworzy tylne drzwi do cudzego modelu i danych? NVIDIA twierdzi, że tak – i robi to nie firewallem, tylko warstwą bezpieczeństwa w samym kręgosłupie racka.

Discover how NVIDIA's Blackwell NVL72 powers top AI models like Kimi K2 Thinking 10x faster #MixtureOfExperts #NVIDIA #AI

The top 10 most intelligent open-source models, including Kimi K2 Thinking and DeepSeek-R1, utilize a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture, which mimics the human brain's efficiency. These models achieve a 10x speed increase when run on NVIDIA's GB200 NVL72, specifically the Blackwell NVL72. The MoE architecture is a key...

Cooling system for a single #Nvidia #Blackwell Ultra #NVL72 rack costs a staggering $50,000 — set to increase to $56,000 with next-generation #NVL144 racks
Thermals will grow further in the #VeraRubin NVL144 platform that will rely on hotter Vera CPUs, Rubin GPUs (up to 1,800W per unit), and next-generation NVSwitch 6.0 ASICs, bringing the cost of the rack-scale cooling system to $55,710, up 17% compared to the cooling system for the GB300, according to Morgan Stanley.

#Arm wrestles away 25% share of #server market thanks to Nvidia's home-grown #CPU
That’s up from 15% of the server market a year ago but still far short of 50% market share Arm infra chief was hoping for. Driving force behind this trend is adoption of Nvidia’s #GraceBlackwell #rackscale compute platforms like GB200 and GB300 #NVL72. Each of the 120-kilowatt machines is equipped with 72 Blackwell GPUs and 36 of Nvidia’s Grace CPUs based on the Arm #NeoverseV2 architecture.

#RackScale is on the rise, but it's not for everyone... yet
Still buying B200s and MI300Xs? Don't feel bad, #Nvidia and #AMD's #NVL72 and #Helios rack systems aren't really for the #enterprise anyway
With all the hype around Nvidia's NVL72, AMD's newly announced Helios, and Intel's upcoming Jaguar Shores rack systems, you'd be forgiven for thinking the days of eight-way HGX servers are numbered.
Spoiler alert: they're probably not going anywhere anytime soon
