In the past year, Nebius has hit a series of milestones with NVIDIA that define what a full-stack AI cloud looks like in practice: Exemplar Cloud on NVIDIA H200 GPUs for training workloads, Europe’s first NVIDIA GB300NVL72 Blackwell Ultra deployment, a $2 billion strategic investment with deep engineering collaboration on AI factories, and a purpose-built cloud for physical AI and robotics. The trajectory has been consistent: build the hyperscale infrastructure that training, agentic AI, and production inference demand while proving performance at every layer.
Now, we’re announcing that Nebius has achieved NVIDIA Exemplar Cloud on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 for training, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs. This validates performance against NVIDIA’s reference architecture, meeting the 95% threshold across all benchmarking recipes.
The NVIDIA Exemplar Clouds initiative evaluates cloud providers against real-world AI training workloads using NVIDIA’s Performance Benchmarking recipes. It validates performance, resiliency, and TCO against NVIDIA’s standards — not synthetic benchmarks. For teams deciding where to run large-scale training, it’s a transparent, independently verified signal that infrastructure will perform as expected.
Nebius is among the first cloud providers globally to achieve Exemplar on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 for training, and one of a small group to hold it across multiple GPU generations.
Exemplar Cloud is one outcome…
