CoreWeaveがNVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72を採用、Cognitionが最初の顧客に
CoreWeaveはNVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72の提供開始を発表した。最初の本番顧客はCognitionで、NVIDIA Vera CPUの新たなサポートも加わる。トレーニング、強化学習、推論にCoreWeaveを利用するCognitionは、Vera Rubin NVL72がSWE-2推論ワークロードでGB200 NVL72を基準に最大4.8倍の総トークンスループットを、強化学習ワークロードで3.8倍の出力トークンスループットを実現したと報告した。CoreWeaveによると、Veraラックには128基のCPUと1万1264コアを搭載でき、理論上1万1000以上の同時分離環境をサポートする。またテストでは、x86 CPUと比べてエージェントサンドボックスの起動時間が3倍以上高速だった。同社はVeraをベアメタルで提供し、他のインフラと同じ運用モデルと経済性を採用する。アクセラレータ時間と並んでCPU集約型インフラの収益化を狙う。CoreWeaveはNVIDIAの技術ロードマップへの依存度が依然として高く、Microsoft AzureやNebius Group N.V.を含むハイパースケーラーや専門GPUクラウドとの競争に直面している。Nebius Group N.V.は四半期に4件の契約を締結し、平均額は10億ドル超、英国でのAIコンピュート拡張に約17億ポンドを計画しており、2027年の完全稼働時に65メガワットを供給する見込みだ。

IBMは木曜日、エージェント型ソフトウェア開発プラットフォーム「IBM Bob」が、オンプレミス、プライベートクラウド、ソブリンクラウド、さらにはエアギャップ環境でも利用可能になったと発表した。これにより、機密性の高いソースコードやアプリケーションのコンテキスト、開発成果物を外部のAIサービスに送信することなく、顧客が管理するインフラ内に保持できるようになる。同社は、2026年6月のIBM Institute for Business Valueの調査を引用し、回答した経営幹部の68%が、地域をまたいだデータレジデンシーと主権要件の遵守が困難であると述べたことを明らかにした。IBMは7月の第2四半期決算で、顧客がAIの実験段階から企業規模の導入へと移行する中で、Red Hat、watsonx、HashiCorpの各事業が恩恵を受けていると述べ、さらにPowerとStorageの受注残高が約5億ドルに達したことを明らかにした。IBMの第2四半期売上高は172億ドルで、ソフトウェア部門は前年比5%増の78億ドルとなり、2026年通年の恒常通貨ベースの売上成長率は4%から5%を見込んでいる。新しいBobの提供は、外部モデルサービスへの接続を含むハイブリッド構成にも引き続き対応しているが、IBMはパブリッククラウドをデフォルトとして扱うのではなく、導入場所を製品の一部としている。
