Red Hat Customizes RHEL for Nvidia's Vera Rubin AI Platform
NVIDIA's Rubin GPU chips deliver 5 times the performance of predecessors to meet soaring AI model and token growth demands, cutting costs 10-fold, CEO Jensen Huang said.
- On January 5, 2026, NVIDIA unveiled the Vera Rubin AI platform and Rubin GPU chips at its CES keynote, supported by a new Rubin chip video.
- Models are expanding rapidly, with rising token usage and industry cost pressure accelerating compute cost declines and driving performance pushes.
- Networking components like ConnectX9 NIC, Spectrum X Ethernet, and Bluefield 4 DPU, and Rubin GPUs with NVLink, cut assembly time from 2 hours to 5 minutes.
- Immediate effects include performance charts show 1/4 system needs for large training runs, with NVIDIA reporting 3.5x training and 5x inference gains, and 6% global data center power savings.
- A multi-model breakthrough inspired by Perplexity showcased combining speech, images, video, 3D and proteins, with NVIDIA demonstrating Proteina, OpenFold 3, EVO 2 tools and framing autonomy growth over the next 10 years.
