Microsoft Azure has flipped the switch on what its engineers call the industry’s first “at-scale” GB300 NVL72 supercluster — a liquid-cooled, rack-scale deployment that links more than 4,600 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs into a single production environment to power OpenAI’s next-generation model...
Microsoft Azure’s new ND GB300 v6 rollout marks a material step-change in cloud AI infrastructure: Azure says it has deployed the world’s first production-scale cluster built from NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 rack systems—stitching together more than 4,600 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs behind NVIDIA’s...
Microsoft’s announcement that it is building what it calls the world’s most powerful AI datacenter in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin — a megasite branded Fairwater — marks a decisive escalation in the physical infrastructure race underpinning the generative AI era. The facility, part of a newly...
