SpaceX Endorses Nvidia's Vera CPU for Smarter AI Models
Nvidia's new Vera CPU has gained the endorsement of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who said it is 'Vera nice, Vera nice…' on X. This comes as Nvidia confirmed that SpaceX was among the first companies to evaluate the platform, which can train smarter AI models and support complex AI workloads for 'agentic AI' systems.
The timing is notable as investors are increasingly betting on SpaceX as an AI and infrastructure play alongside its core aerospace business. The company is reportedly targeting a June Nasdaq listing under the ticker SPCX at a valuation that could reach $1.75 trillion.
Nvidia's first custom CPU specifically designed for 'agentic AI' systems, Vera features 88 custom-designed Olympus cores, 1.2 TB/s memory bandwidth, and 50% faster per-core performance under sustained workloads.
