- NVIDIA and Meta deepen Muse collaboration with $3 billion investment
NVIDIA and Meta announced an expanded partnership centered on Muse and the Muse model family, with workflow optimizations intended to improve training and inference performance and total cost of ownership. NVIDIA will invest $3 billion in Meta’s equity offering, while Meta plans to expand deployments of Vera Rubin, Vera CPU, Spectrum-X networking and BlueField-4, and the companies will consider OpenShell and Sentry collaboration for agent safety and monitoring. Meta claims Muse has delivered frontier-level benchmark performance and rising consumer downloads, but the reports provide no independent figures.
NVIDIA Newsroom · 🔥 3 - Nvidia outlines $2,000 per-GPU annual AI agent software licensing
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said licensing Nvidia software for AI agents in “AI factories” could cost about $2,000 per GPU per year, and that software licensing will become a larger part of the company’s business, according to Tom’s Hardware and TechSpot. The figure is an example rather than final pricing: Nvidia has not disclosed the effective date, eligible GPUs, covered software, or how the proposal relates to the $4,500-per-GPU annual AI Enterprise subscription. The discussion accompanied Nvidia’s OpenShell Reference Architecture, which combines Vera Rubin infrastructure, Vera CPUs, BlueField-4 DPUs and Nvidia Sentry to provide a secured environment for AI agents.
Tom’s Hardware · 🔥 0 - NVIDIA launches OpenShell Reference Architecture for secure AI agents
NVIDIA announced the OpenShell Reference Architecture at GTC Berlin, a full-stack design for building, containing, observing and enforcing safe AI agents on enterprise and edge infrastructure, and said it is now available. It combines OpenShell secure runtime software with Vera Rubin systems for inference, Vera CPUs for agent harnesses and tool use, and BlueField-4 DPUs running NVIDIA Sentry for in-silicon enforcement, extending to RTX Spark, DGX Spark and DGX Station at the edge. NVIDIA says Vera Rubin NVL72 delivers 30x higher throughput per megawatt on agentic workloads and that Sentry stops an agent leaving its boundary in milliseconds while raising agent capacity by up to 20%; those figures are vendor claims not independently measured. Anthropic, AWS, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Dell, Google Cloud, HPE, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Palo Alto Networks, SAP and ServiceNow are among companies NVIDIA lists as working with the architecture, and Sentry is planned for availability early next year, with DOCA libraries available now.
