CoreWeave’s NVIDIA Vera CPU: 11,264 Cores, 3x Faster

CoreWeave said on September 30, 2026, that it will add the NVIDIA Vera CPU to its cloud platform, one of the first large commercial rollouts of a processor NVIDIA built specifically for AI agents rather than general-purpose computing. The announcement landed at Fully Connected, CoreWeave’s AI cloud conference in San Francisco, where the company also detailed a rack-scale system packing 128 Vera CPUs and 11,264 cores into a single cabinet. CoreWeave says that configuration supports more than 11,000 concurrent agent environments, and that agent sandboxes start more than three times faster on Vera than on an x86 processor in its own tests.
