Jensen Huang held up a Vera Rubin node on stage, announcing full production: the world's first cable-free computer, 100% liquid-cooled (vs 80% for Grace Blackwell). Node assembly time drops from 2 hours to under 5 minutes, with two GPUs per node, greatly improving manufacturing cycle times.
Also in the thread: Nebius CEO Arkady Volozh argues GPU compute should be priced by market mechanisms like ad auctions or ride-hailing; Nebius launched a GPU auction, "and the prices went up."
