Nvidia today announced that it's working with Japan's Noetra Corp. to build a 140-megawatt AI factory packing 27,500 Rubin GPUs and 13,750 Vera CPUs, the compute foundation for FRONTia, the Japanese government's state-funded physical AI program. The facility will be built from Vera Rubin NVL72 racks on Nvidia's DSX reference platform, connected with Spectrum-X Ethernet, and will train open multimodal foundation models for robotics, digital twins, and industrial automation, with pretrained weights shared broadly with domestic developers.
"Japan invented modern manufacturing. Now, it is building the AI factories that will power the next industrial revolution," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, in the announcement.
