“Our collaboration with NVIDIA extends those capabilities across training, inference and agentic AI. By combining NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs with Oracle Acceleron networking and AI-optimized data centers, we’re helping customers keep GPUs productive, secure and scale efficiently as their needs grow.”
Ian Buck, vice president of hyperscale and high-performance computing at NVIDIA
“AI factories must be productive, durable and fungible — delivering efficient computing, remaining useful through continued software advances and serving different models and workloads as demand changes.”
Ian Buck, vice president of hyperscale and high-performance computing at NVIDIA
“With Oracle, we’re bringing Vera Rubin and Vera CPUs to OCI to help customers put more of their infrastructure to work today and sustain its value as AI evolves.”
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oracle AI World—NVIDIA and Oracle today announced plans to expand Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Superclusters with NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 systems to multi-gigawatt scale, supporting growing customer demand for AI training, inference and agentic applications. Oracle and NVIDIA also expanded their AI infrastructure collaboration with the general availability of NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and NVIDIA Vera CPUs on OCI.
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, helping reduce idle capacity and put more of their infrastructure to productive use.
