## Summary

NVIDIA and Google Cloud announced that NVIDIA Vera Rubin-based A5X instances will become generally available next month, with a planned expansion to Europe. The platform integrates NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, ConnectX-9 SuperNICs, Google Cloud Virgo Network and advanced liquid cooling for agentic inference and reinforcement-learning workloads. Google Cloud plans to scale the infrastructure to as many as 960,000 Rubin GPUs across multiple sites.

Ineffable Intelligence, founded by AlphaGo creator David Silver, was the first customer to access A5X and is using it to research systems that continually learn from experience. WPP also demonstrated creative agents on the platform; NVIDIA says workloads that typically required a multi-node cluster ran on a single A5X instance. Google Cloud also announced confidential-computing capabilities for other instances with NVIDIA GPUs.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

The planned general availability and expansion to Europe could broaden access to infrastructure designed for agentic inference and reinforcement learning. The announced scale—up to 960,000 Rubin GPUs—and early uses by Ineffable Intelligence and WPP indicate the kinds of research and creative work the platform is intended to support.
