CoreWeave says NVIDIA's Vera CPU, built for agent workloads, is on the way

On September 30, CoreWeave announced that NVIDIA's Vera CPU, an Arm-based chip positioned as the first built for AI agent workloads, is coming to its platform on bare metal. The post gives no launch date.

Each node pairs two 88-core Vera CPUs with 1.5 TB of RAM and a BlueField-4 DPU; CoreWeave says a single rack can host more than 11,000 concurrent agent environments.

The claim of over 3x faster agent sandbox startup versus an unnamed x86 CPU is CoreWeave's own testing, with the comparison baseline not disclosed.
