Perplexity CEO Arav Srinivas says the company is now serving much of its inference on NVIDIA NVLink Blackwells, with Vera Rubin next. The cited NVIDIA case study notes Perplexity serves 50M+ daily queries across 15 models including Nemotron 3 Ultra, and Blackwell's larger NVLink domain lets models scale across nodes without latency sacrifice. NVIDIA also released an AI Tokenomics white paper covering token demand forecasting, cost optimization, and pricing, with Cohere, Perplexity, and Canva case studies.
