Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) introduced DSX POD, a reference design for complete Vera Rubin AI factories that partners build inside modular containers and validate before delivery, at its GTC Berlin conference. The factory-built units cut deployment time at a prepared site from six months to as little as 14 days. Nvidia shares were up 0.72% intraday as of 10:20 a.m. ET.

The design moves the integration of computing, networking, cabling, rack-level power and liquid cooling into the manufacturing facility, reducing onsite construction work and exposure to component delays. An AI factory creates value when it starts producing tokens, CEO Jensen Huang said, adding that the approach lets customers bring revenue-generating capacity online faster.

Nvidia is working with partners including Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE), Vertiv (NYSE:VRT), Schneider Electric, Lenovo, Foxconn and Crusoe to deliver DSX POD AI factories worldwide in early 2027.
