Nvidia announces the large-scale production of its new Vera Rubin AI platform

Las Vegas.- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced this Monday on the eve of the CES technology fair that Vera Rubin, its new accelerated computing platform for artificial intelligence, is already in production and will begin to be implemented this year. "I can confirm that Vera Rubin is currently in full production," Huang assured from the stage of the technology meeting that will officially begin its activities on January 6. The platform combines several chips, including the Rubin GPU and the Vera CPU, forming an AI-specialized supercomputer capable of running advanced models with great speed and efficiency. According to the executive, this architecture offers a maximum inference performance up to five times higher than previous generations, with remarkable energy efficiency, and is designed to run advanced AI models in data centers and large-scale applications.

"Rubin arrives just at the right moment as the demand for AI computing, both for training and inference, is skyrocketing," Huang said.

Boost to AI

During the presentation, the executive highlighted Nvidia's plans to boost physical AI and introduced Alpamayo, a new family of AI models aimed at improving the safety and development of autonomous vehicles. The first car with this technology is expected to debut on US roads in the first quarter, followed by its arrival in European markets. "Alpamayo does something really special. Not only does it receive information from the sensor and activate the brakes and acceleration of the steering wheel, but it also reasons about the action it is going to take," he described. Huang also highlighted other physical AI developments, such as Nemotron, aimed at developing intelligent agents with reasoning and decision-making capabilities, or Cosmos, focused on AI models for understanding and simulating real-world environments. Thanks to its strategic alliances, Nvidia continues to set the course for technological innovation, said Seunghyun Woo, leader of the future strategy team at Hyundai Motor Company, during his presentation this Monday, in which he highlighted the collaboration with the American chip company.

Record Revenue Drives Nvidia's Valuation

Huang's presentation, who was accompanied on stage by robots, was part of a day dedicated to the media in which the presence of devices powered by artificial intelligence, such as CLOiD, from LG Electronics, and the new humanoid robot Atlas, from Boston Dynamics, owned by Hyundai, was highlighted.

The American chip manufacturer has achieved a high valuation on Wall Street and has driven the AI revolution on the stock exchange. Nvidia reported record revenue of $57.01 billion in its fiscal third quarter in 2025, 62% more than in the same period last year. The California-based company executed last month the purchase of Intel shares worth $5 billion, an agreement with which the two companies will focus on combining Nvidia's strengths in artificial intelligence (AI) and accelerated computing with Intel's technologies in CPUs and its x86 ecosystem.
