Dell First to Ship Systems Built on NVIDIA Vera Rubin Platform to CoreWeave

Key takeaways 3 min read

• Dell is first to ship systems built on NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, delivering to CoreWeave and continuing a collaboration built on speed, execution and a shared focus on delivering AI at scale
• Dell's PowerRack systems built on NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 deliver up to 10x lower cost per token than NVIDIA Grace Blackwell NVL72 for large-scale agentic AI inferencing, reducing that cost unlocks entirely new levels of adoption.

Earlier this week, we announced that Dell is the first to ship rack systems engineered on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform. Dell PowerRack systems with PowerEdge XE9812 servers built with NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 were delivered to CoreWeave.

This builds on our legacy of delivering the first GB200 and GB300 systems to CoreWeave, reinforcing a collaboration built on speed, execution and a shared focus on delivering AI at scale.

It also reflects a fundamental shift in how AI infrastructure is designed, built and deployed at scale.

From components to architectures

AI is moving faster than any technology cycle we have seen.

What used to be a conversation about GPUs has become a conversation about full rack-scale systems and AI factories. The constraint is no longer just compute. It is how compute, data, networking, power and cooling operate together as one. Bringing all of that together is complex.

Dell PowerRack with NVIDIA Vera Rubin simplifies it for our customers.

With PowerRack, you are not buying components and hoping they work together. You are deploying a fully integrated system where compute, networking and storage are engineered together to work as one unit, and power and thermal design are optimized from the start. Each system is designed, tested and delivered as a single unit. It is a turnkey solution built to accelerate deployment - so customers move from delivery to production faster than ever (in under 6.5 hours).

Efficiency is built into Dell PowerRacks with Dell PowerCool technology. These thermal management advancements tackle AI-driven cooling challenges and ensure efficient, reliable infrastructure tailored to space and power needs. Dell's factory-validated systems offer optimized airflow, direct-liquid cooling and integrated power distribution ideal for modern AI deployments.

The difference between having hardware and running AI at scale is execution. Time to first token, reliability and integration matter. That is where Dell differentiates.

Rewriting the economics of AI at scale

At Dell Technologies World, one theme came through clearly: token economics is now the defining cost model for AI.

As organizations move into production, the conversation shifts away from inputs to outputs. The unit that matters is tokens. How many you can generate, how fast, and at what cost.

PowerRacks built with NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform deliver up to 10 times lower cost per token than Blackwell for large-scale agentic AI inferencing.

That is not an incremental improvement. It changes how AI gets deployed.

Together, Dell and CoreWeave are helping AI innovators deploy increasingly complex workloads with the performance, efficiency and reliability required for production environments. For customers, that means the ability to train larger models, serve more inference workloads and support emerging agentic AI applications at unprecedented scale.

In a world where token demand is accelerating, cost per token becomes the limiting factor. Reducing that cost unlocks entirely new levels of adoption.

In the AI era, performance wins headlines. Cost per token decides who can scale.

Powering the AI builders

CoreWeave sits at the frontier of AI, powering some of the most demanding training and inference workloads in the market today.

Our collaboration reflects a broader shift. Frontier AI companies, enterprises, neoclouds and those embarking on sovereign initiatives are building AI as core infrastructure, not an experiment. They require systems purpose-built for that reality. That is what Dell and CoreWeave delivers.

More than 5,000 customers are building on the Dell AI Factory, moving from data to tokens to outcomes. Across these deployments, the requirement is consistent: integrated systems, predictable performance, scalable infrastructure and secure environments.

PowerRack and NVIDIA Vera Rubin extend that model to the next generation.

Intelligence is becoming infrastructure

What CoreWeave deploys today, enterprises will depend on tomorrow. The same architecture powering the most demanding AI workloads in the world is the foundation for the deployments transforming healthcare, manufacturing, financial services and national AI strategies. We are making that infrastructure real wherever it needs to run, at the frontier and across the enterprise, generation after generation.
