## Summary

NVIDIA and CoreWeave announced new infrastructure for agentic AI at CoreWeave Fully Connected. The companies introduced the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 systems with Spectrum-X networking and the NVIDIA Vera CPU, designed for AI agents. Cognition, the lab behind Devin, became the first customer to run production workloads on Vera Rubin, achieving up to a 4.8x increase in token throughput for software engineering tasks.

CoreWeave also launched CoreWeave Forge, a unified environment for training, evaluating, and improving models and agents. Forge integrates tools like Weights & Biases, OpenPipe, and marimo, offering capabilities such as CoreWeave ARIA for experiment analysis, CoreWeave Agent Lens for production observability, and serverless fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. The platform supports open-source models like NVIDIA Nemotron and aims to reduce failure detection costs by 20% while accelerating sandbox startup times by over 3x. Early adopters include healthcare provider Ennoble Care and enterprises like Canva, Capital One, and MasterClass.

## Key points

- NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 delivers 4.8x higher token throughput for Cognition’s Devin agent in SWE-2 inference
- CoreWeave Forge unifies training, evaluation, and improvement tools with 20% lower failure detection costs
- NVIDIA Vera CPU enables 11,000+ concurrent agent environments with 3x faster sandbox startup times

## Why it matters

The integration of NVIDIA’s hardware and CoreWeave’s cloud platform accelerates agentic AI deployment, reducing costs and improving scalability for labs and enterprises. This could redefine how AI agents are trained, tested, and deployed at scale.
