Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is now deploying thousands of NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to power agentic AI and reasoning models. OCI has stood up and optimized its first wave of liquid-cooled NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 racks in its data centers, enabling customers to develop and run next-generation AI agents. The NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform is a rack-scale system combining 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, delivering performance and energy efficiency for agentic AI powered by advanced AI reasoning models. Oracle aims to build one of the world's largest Blackwell clusters, with OCI Superclusters scaling beyond 100,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to meet the growing demand for accelerated computing.

This deployment includes high-speed NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand and NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking for scalable, low-latency performance, along with software and database integrations from NVIDIA and OCI. OCI is among the first to deploy NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems, and this deployment marks a transformation of cloud data centers into AI factories. These AI factories are designed to manufacture intelligence at scale, leveraging the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform. OCI offers flexible deployment options to bring Blackwell to customers across public, government, and sovereign clouds, as well as customer-owned data centers.

These new racks are the first systems available from NVIDIA DGX Cloud, an optimized platform with software, services, and technical support for developing and deploying AI workloads on clouds. NVIDIA will utilize these racks for various projects, including training reasoning models, autonomous vehicle development, accelerating chip design and manufacturing, and developing AI tools. In related cybersecurity news, Cisco Foundation AI has released its first open-source security model, Llama-3.1-FoundationAI-SecurityLLM-base-8B, designed to improve response time, expand capacity, and proactively reduce risk in security operations.
