NVIDIA says Vera Rubin systems are generally available on Oracle Cloud

NVIDIA's newsroom post, dated 27 October 2026, says NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 systems and NVIDIA Vera CPUs are now generally available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The same post says NVIDIA and Oracle have announced plans to expand OCI Superclusters with Vera Rubin NVL72 systems to multi-gigawatt scale. It says each NVL72 rack connects 72 GPUs through NVLink. It also says OCI plans to introduce NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8, with eight Rubin GPUs, two 64-core Intel Xeon 6 CPUs, 4TB of DDR5 memory and 6.4 Tbps of RDMA networking.

The post says OpenAI has trained and served GPT-6 Astra on an OCI Supercluster in Abilene with more than 100,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. It does not state a dollar figure for the Vera Rubin expansion, and it does not date the multi-gigawatt plan or the NVL8 systems. Those are described as plans. The general availability of Vera Rubin NVL72 and Vera CPUs on OCI is stated as current.

What it means for business: customers of Oracle Cloud can use the named Vera Rubin NVL72 systems and Vera CPUs now, on NVIDIA's account. The multi-gigawatt expansion and the eight-GPU NVL8 system are plans, with no price and no date in the post. This is a cloud-capacity announcement. It is not a new model release and it is not a rule on data-centre energy or chips.
