SpaceXAI is going all in on NVIDIA’s next-generation AI architecture....from Grok on Earth all the way to AI compute in space
SpaceXAI will deploy NVIDIA Vera CPUs for its next generation of agentic AI workloads while expanding the infrastructure behind Grok with Vera Rubin
And Vera is built specifically for what AI agents actually need
When an agent is working, the GPU is only part of the story
Between model calls, the system has to:
• Execute code
• Use tools
• Process huge amounts of data
• Run simulations
• Orchestrate multiple tasks
• Keep feeding work back to the GPUs
That increasingly becomes a CPU problem
Vera has 88 NVIDIA-designed Olympus cores and up to 1.2 TB/s of memory bandwidth, delivering up to 1.8× faster task completion than x86 CPUs across workloads including agentic AI, reinforcement learning and data processing
SpaceXAI plans to use that performance to make AI agents faster while keeping its massive GPU infrastructure better utilized
And this gets much bigger
SpaceXAI is scaling toward gigawatts of AI computing capacity using NVIDIA Vera Rubin
And it doesn’t stop at terrestrial data centers
SpaceXAI’s first-generation Starmind AI satellite is planned around an optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 system
Basically, the same NVIDIA computing architecture being built for giant AI factories on Earth is now being adapted for orbital AI compute
The direction is becoming pretty clear:
Vera CPUs → faster, more capable AI agents
Vera Rubin → gigawatt-scale AI factories
Starmind → AI computing infrastructure in orbit
SpaceXAI is building an AI architecture that starts on Earth and eventually extends into space
That is a completely different scale of ambition
