CoreWeave's NVIDIA V100 GPUs are still running customer workloads nearly a decade after Volta launched, even as CoreWeave brings Vera Rubin NVL72 into production. That's the strength of the NVIDIA platform: infrastructure that keeps earning for years, and the flexibility to put the right GPU on the right workload." > **— Ian Buck**, *From Training to Production, NVIDIA and CoreWeave Close the Loop on Agentic AI, September 30, 2026* [[reminders/AI Infrastructure/AI Infrastructure Can Keep Earning Across Hardware Generations by Ian Buck|AI Infrastructure Can Keep Earning Across Hardware Generations by Ian Buck]]
