Nvidia to invest $3 billion in Meta and expand Muse partnership

The Wall Street Journal reports Nvidia will invest $3 billion in Meta's planned equity offering and the companies said they will expand their partnership around Meta's AI product Muse. Meta announced it plans to run more of its next-generation AI agents — including Vera Rubin systems and Vera CPUs — on Nvidia infrastructure; CNBC also reported AMD and Broadcom signaled nonbinding interest in buying up to $5 billion of Meta shares in the planned raise.

SpaceX secures roughly $40B Apollo-backed GPU lease to expand AI compute

SpaceX disclosed a binding commitment for about $40 billion in financing from an entity managed by Apollo Global Management to buy GPUs and related server hardware, which Apollo will lease to SpaceX for roughly five to 5.25 years; SpaceX expects the deal to close by year-end and leases to begin as equipment (including Nvidia’s next‑generation Vera Rubin chips) arrives in H1 2027. The financing is intended to fund SpaceX’s rapidly expanding AI efforts — including Grok and cloud compute — and CFO Bret Johnsen said the company sees payback periods under one year on its AI infrastructure investments.

Nvidia unveils DSX POD reference design for factory‑assembled AI data centers

At GTC Berlin Nvidia unveiled DSX POD, a DSX platform reference design that packages Vera Rubin-based systems, networking, cabling, power and liquid cooling into factory‑assembled containers. Partners (Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Schneider Electric) install and test the units so sites only need to hook them to power, cooling and network; Nvidia says this can cut setup time from six months to as little as 14 days and that its closed‑loop cooling can use up to 100% less cooling water; first units are set to ship worldwide in early 2027.

Runway previews GWM-1 research to stream AI-generated video in real time

Runway shared research into real-time video generation that streams frames as users describe scenes, aiming to minimize time to first frame and let users iteratively steer output rather than re-running batch generation. The work builds on Runway's GWM-1 (a General World Model based on Gen-4.5), trains the model on its own outputs to reduce compounding errors, and includes a Nvidia-powered preview targeting a first frame under 100 ms; Runway has not announced availability timing.

NVIDIA says Vera Rubin and Blackwell set new standard for agentic AI performance per watt

According to a post on NVIDIA Developer, the company's new architectures—Vera Rubin and Blackwell—set a new standard for performance per watt for agentic AI workloads, the form of inference that spans multi-step workflows, tool use and subagent coordination. NVIDIA frames these improvements as boosting efficiency for running complex AI agents, though specific benchmark details belong to the source announcement.
