At CES 2026, NVIDIA unveiled the Rubin platform, which is set to revolutionize artificial intelligence infrastructure and open up new opportunities for cloud systems and robotics.

Leading AI laboratories around the world — including OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google, Microsoft, and dozens of other companies — have already confirmed their adoption of the new generation of Rubin chips.

Sam Altman of OpenAI stated that the platform will help scale progress in artificial intelligence. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, noted that the efficiency gains delivered by Rubin will enable the creation of AI systems with longer memory, improved reasoning capabilities, and more reliable outputs. Elon Musk described the platform as a “rocket engine for AI.”

Rubin integrates six new chips — Vera CPU, Rubin GPU, NVLink 6, ConnectX-9, BlueField-4, and Spectrum-6 — delivering an extreme bandwidth of 260 TB/s, exceeding total global internet traffic. This provides the power and speed required for modern AI models, cloud services, and robotic systems.

Cloud giants are already preparing to deploy Rubin. Microsoft will install Vera Rubin NVL72 racks in next-generation Fairwater data centers, while AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle have confirmed platform support. This opens new opportunities for scaling AI and intelligent systems, accelerating the development of robotics and cloud services.

Products based on Rubin will arrive in the second half of 2026. The platform will become NVIDIA’s third generation of rack-scale architecture, intensifying the technological arms race in the AI industry and laying the foundation for the next generation of robots, clouds, and intelligent technologies of the future.
