OpenAI is bringing NVIDIA’s Vera CPUs into production on Oracle’s cloud to run code and tools for AI agents. Initial tests showed 51% higher Python throughput and 2.2x memory bandwidth per thread vs. a leading x86 CPU Oracle plans an initial deployment of 150,000 Vera CPUs. OCI’s Vera offering includes standalone bare-metal and flexible VM instances, allowing customers to scale CPU and GPU capacity independently. NVIDIA and Oracle also announced general availability of Vera Rubin NVL72 systems on OCI, with plans to expand Vera Rubin superclusters to multi-gigawatt scale. Oracle also plans to introduce HGX Rubin NVL8 systems, offering eight Rubin GPUs in an x86-based server configuration. 27-OCT-2026 06:20 PM ET
