At Google Cloud Next this week in Las Vegas, the partnership reaches a new milestone, with advancements to expand Google Cloud AI Hypercomputer for AI factories that will power the next frontier of agentic and physical AI.

These include the new NVIDIA Vera Rubin-powered A5X bare-metal instances; a preview of Google Gemini on Google Distributed Cloud running on NVIDIA Blackwell and NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs; confidential VMs with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs; and agentic AI on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform with NVIDIA Nemotron open models and the NVIDIA NeMo framework.

At Google Cloud Next, Google announced A5X powered by NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale systems, which — through extreme codesign across chips, systems and software — deliver up to 10x lower inference cost per token and 10x higher token throughput per megawatt than the prior generation.

A5X will use NVIDIA ConnectX-9 SuperNICs, combined with next-generation Google Virgo networking, scaling to up to 80,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs within a single site cluster and up to 960,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs in a multisite cluster, enabling customers to run their largest AI workloads on NVIDIA‑optimized infrastructure.
