CoreWeave Brings Up Multi-Rack NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Cluster
On September 16, 2026, CoreWeave announced the bring up of a multi-rack NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 cluster on CoreWeave Cloud, linking hundreds of NVIDIA Rubin GPUs into a single scale-out cluster for agentic AI. The company also introduced two new CoreWeave AI Object Storage capabilities: cross-region write acceleration and an Archive tier. A single Vera Rubin NVL72 rack pairs 72 Rubin GPUs with 36 Vera CPUs and advanced NVIDIA networking components. CoreWeave positions these capabilities as reducing data-access latency and improving AI training and inference performance.
CoreWeave claims to be the first AI cloud provider to bring up a multi-rack NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 cluster, signaling early access to next-generation NVIDIA hardware and a competitive edge in agentic AI workloads. The new object storage features address data latency and cost concerns, potentially strengthening CoreWeave's position among AI-native customers.
