CoreWeave reports 3x faster sandbox startup with Vera CPU

CoreWeave Senior Director Harsh Banwait reported that Nvidia's Vera CPU improved Sandboxes startup times by approximately 3x.

Sandboxes provides isolated environments for AI agents to execute tasks during reinforcement learning and inference. Banwait noted this addresses the bottleneck of waiting for environment initialization before agent task execution.

The data comes from CoreWeave's internal testing and has not been published with detailed benchmarks or independently verified.
