NVIDIA today announced it is working with Noetra Corp. to launch an NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI factory with 13,750 NVIDIA Vera CPUs and 27,500 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs for national\u00a0physical AI<\/a>. Supported by Japan\u2019s AI and industry leaders, the initiative marks the world\u2019s first national AI infrastructure for physical AI, strengthening the country\u2019s AI ecosystem across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, telecommunications and more.<\/p>\n The new AI factory, established by Noetra, will be architected with NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72<\/a> racks using the NVIDIA DSX\u2122 platform<\/a>, connected and scaled with NVIDIA Spectrum-X\u2122 Ethernet<\/a> networking. It will enable the development of open multimodal foundation models that power AI agents, digital twins, robotics and other physical AI applications.<\/p>\n The NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI factory will provide the computing foundation for Japan\u2019s FRONTia Project, which refers to the project titled, \u201cDevelopment of Multimodal Foundation Models with a View to AI Robotics and Physical AI,\u201d launched by METI. The project brings together the country\u2019s manufacturing expertise, real-world industrial data and global technology leaders to develop highly reliable multimodal foundation models for physical AI.<\/p>\n The pretrained weights of Noetra\u2019s multimodal foundation models will be made broadly available to domestic model developers and enterprises alongside software such as NVIDIA Nemotron\u2122, NVIDIA Cosmos\u2122, NVIDIA Isaac\u2122 GR00T open models, NVIDIA NeMo\u2122 libraries and more. This will accelerate the development of agentic AI and physical AI applications.<\/p>\n \u201cJapan invented modern manufacturing. Now, it is building the AI factories that will power the next industrial revolution,\u201d said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. \u201cNVIDIA is honored to partner with Japan and its industrial leaders to build the AI infrastructure that will power the country\u2019s industries, its economy and a new generation of innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJapan has launched the FRONTia Project, which will serve as the core of the country\u2019s physical AI ecosystem,\u201d said Ryosei Akazawa, Japan\u2019s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. \u201cBy fostering collaboration between Japan and leading global innovators \u2014 including NVIDIA \u2014 and leveraging Japan\u2019s strengths, such as its onsite expertise and manufacturing technology infrastructure, we will build highly reliable multimodal foundation models and contribute to solving global social challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBringing physical AI into the real world requires enormous computing, data and foundational technologies \u2014 challenges no single company can solve alone,\u201d said Hironobu Tamba, CEO of Noetra. \u201cTogether with partners across Japan and around the world, Noetra will advance Japan-developed multimodal foundation models and accelerate the deployment of physical AI across Japanese industries by broadly sharing the results of our research.\u201d<\/p>\n Built on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI factory architecture, the AI factory will deliver 140 megawatts of data center capacity combined with the NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform, NVIDIA BlueField\u00ae DPUs, and tightly codesigned silicon, systems and software to provide breakthrough AI performance, lower token costs and massive scale for frontier AI training.<\/p>\n
