At the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, taking place in the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, NVIDIA announced new partnerships and contributions aimed at creating a common foundation for next-generation AI infrastructure.
Key facts
- For NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI factories, the updated MGX 1.2 specification extends the open architecture for AI factories with rack-scale blind-mate liquid cooling, interoperable rack-scale interconnect
- At OCP, Visionbay unveiled plans for K-1, a next-generation AI factory platform designed around an 800 VDC architecture and built with future NVIDIA Vera Rubin deployments in mind
- By adopting NVIDIA’s 800 VDC architecture, K-1 creates a path toward higher-density AI infrastructure while preserving flexibility for existing deployments
- At the event, Meta and NVIDIA announced that Meta is adopting NVIDIA Spectrum-6 102.4Tb/s Ethernet switches to build larger, higher-performance NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI factories on open networking
Summary
As AI factories grow from megawatts to gigawatts, building them takes more than advanced computing. NVIDIA contributed key NVIDIA Vera Rubin rack and compute tray designs to OCP through the open NVIDIA MGX architecture, giving system builders a common foundation for developing next-generation AI factory infrastructure. Together, these efforts span the AI factory itself, the utility grid that powers it and the rack-scale architecture at the heart of modern accelerated computing. NVIDIA and hyperscalers published open standards for next-generation AI factories, including AI factory design standards and grid resilience.
