CoreWeave, Inc. (CRWV) announced Monday it's bringing Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) Rubin technology into its AI cloud platform, a move that should help power the next wave of artificial intelligence workloads.
The integration will expand support for agentic AI, reasoning models, and large-scale inference applications—essentially the heavyweight computing tasks that modern AI systems increasingly demand.
CoreWeave has built its cloud platform specifically to handle large-scale AI across multiple technology generations, which gives customers flexibility to match their systems with whatever their workloads need. Adding the Nvidia Rubin platform takes that approach further by delivering enhanced performance, efficiency, and scalability for everyone from major enterprises to AI research labs to ambitious startups running production AI.
Built for the Heavy Lifting
The Nvidia Rubin platform was designed with compute-intensive applications in mind. We're talking about agentic AI, drug discovery, genomics research, climate modeling, and even fusion research—the kind of work that pushes computing infrastructure to its limits. It's particularly well-suited for large-scale mixture-of-experts models, which need sustained, high-performance computing power.
When deployed on CoreWeave's infrastructure, Rubin will let AI developers train, deploy, and scale these demanding workloads more efficiently while maintaining consistent performance and operational flexibility. That's the theory, anyway.
CoreWeave expects to become one of the first cloud providers deploying the Nvidia Rubin platform in the second half of 2026, which should give its customers expanded flexibility as their AI deployments grow.
What the Executives Are Saying
Michael Intrator, Co-founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer at CoreWeave, framed the announcement around customer choice: "Enterprises come to CoreWeave for real choice and the ability to run complex workloads reliably at production scale. With CoreWeave Mission Control as our operating standard, we can bring new technologies like Rubin to market quickly and enable our customers to deploy their innovations at scale with confidence."
Jensen Huang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Nvidia, took the opportunity to highlight the broader vision: "CoreWeave's speed, scale, and ingenuity make them an essential partner in this new era of computing. With Rubin, we're pushing the boundaries of AI, from reasoning to agentic AI, and CoreWeave is helping turn that potential into production as one of the first to deploy it later this year. Together, we're not just deploying infrastructure, we're building the AI factories of the future."
CRWV Price Action: CoreWeave shares were up 1.72% at $78.18 during premarket trading on Tuesday, according to market data.
