NVIDIA and Oracle announced on October 27, 2026, plans to expand Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Superclusters with NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 systems to multi-gigawatt scale, citing growing customer demand for AI training, inference and agentic applications. The companies also announced general availability of Vera Rubin NVL72 and NVIDIA Vera CPUs on OCI, and said OCI plans to introduce NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8 systems.
According to the announcement, the expanded collaboration gives customers infrastructure for both the GPU-intensive work of training and serving frontier models and the CPU-intensive tasks agents perform between model calls, including executing tools, testing code and retrieving data. Customers can scale CPU and GPU resources independently to match their workloads, which the companies said helps reduce idle capacity.
OCI Supercluster Architecture and Vera Rubin Performance
OCI Superclusters combine NVIDIA NVL72 rack-scale systems, Oracle Acceleron networking with NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet featuring Spectrum-6 switches and BlueField-4 DPUs, and gigawatt-class power and cooling. Each rack connects 72 GPUs through NVIDIA NVLink scale-up networking, while OCI’s multiplanar network scales across hundreds of thousands of GPUs.
The planned Vera Rubin expansion builds on OCI’s existing NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 NVL72 infrastructure, with NVIDIA’s common CUDA software foundation and continued software optimization supporting workloads…
