TOKYO, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NVIDIA today a ou ced it is wo ki g with Noet a Co p. to lau ch a NVIDIA Ve a Rubi AI facto y with 13,750 NVIDIA Ve a CPUs a d 27,500 NVIDIA Rubi GPUs fo atio al physical AI. Suppo ted by Japa ’s AI a d i dust y leade s, the i itiative ma ks the wo ld’s fi st atio al AI i f ast uctu e fo physical AI, st e gthe i g the cou t y’s AI ecosystem ac oss ma ufactu i g, logistics, healthca e, telecommu icatio s a d mo e.
The ew AI facto y, established by Noet a, will be a chitected with NVIDIA Ve a Rubi NVL72 acks usi g the NVIDIA DSX™ platfo m, co ected a d scaled with NVIDIA Spect um-X™ Ethe et etwo ki g. It will e able the developme t of ope multimodal fou datio models that powe AI age ts, digital twi s, obotics a d othe physical AI applicatio s.
The NVIDIA Ve a Rubi AI facto y will p ovide the computi g fou datio fo Japa ’s FRONTia P oject, which efe s to the p oject titled, “Developme t of Multimodal Fou datio Models with a View to AI Robotics a d Physical AI,” lau ched by METI. The p oject b i gs togethe the cou t y’s ma ufactu i g expe tise, eal-wo ld i dust ial data a d global tech ology leade s to develop highly eliable multimodal fou datio models fo physical AI.
The p et ai ed weights of Noet a’s multimodal fou datio models will be made b oadly available to domestic model develope s a d e te p ises alo gside softwa e such as NVIDIA Nemot o ™, NVIDIA Cosmos™, NVIDIA Isaac™ GR00T ope models, NVIDIA NeMo™ lib a ies a d mo e. This will accele ate the developme t of age tic AI a d physical AI applicatio s.
“Japa i ve ted mode ma ufactu i g. Now, it is buildi g the AI facto ies that will powe the ext i dust ial evolutio ,” said Je se Hua g, fou de a d CEO of NVIDIA. “NVIDIA is ho o ed to pa t e with Japa a d its i dust ial leade s to build the AI i f ast uctu e that will powe the cou t y’s i dust ies, its eco omy a d a ew ge e atio of i ovatio .”
“Japa has lau ched the FRONTia P oject, which will se ve as the co e of the cou t y’s physical AI ecosystem,” said Ryosei Akazawa, Japa ’s Mi iste of Eco omy, T ade a d I dust y. “By foste i g collabo atio betwee Japa a d leadi g global i ovato s — i cludi g NVIDIA — a d leve agi g Japa ’s st e gths, such as its o site expe tise a d ma ufactu i g tech ology i f ast uctu e, we will build highly eliable multimodal fou datio models a d co t ibute to solvi g global social challe ges.”
“B i gi g physical AI i to the eal wo ld equi es e o mous computi g, data a d fou datio al tech ologies — challe ges o si gle compa y ca solve alo e,” said Hi o obu Tamba, CEO of Noet a. “Togethe with pa t e s ac oss Japa a d a ou d the wo ld, Noet a will adva ce Japa -developed multimodal fou datio models a d accele ate the deployme t of physical AI ac oss Japa ese i dust ies by b oadly sha i g the esults of ou esea ch.”
Built o the NVIDIA Ve a Rubi DSX AI facto y a chitectu e, the AI facto y will delive 140 megawatts of data ce te capacity combi ed with the NVIDIA Spect um-X Ethe et etwo ki g platfo m, NVIDIA BlueField® DPUs, a d tightly codesig ed silico , systems a d softwa e to p ovide b eakth ough AI pe fo ma ce, lowe toke costs a d massive scale fo f o tie AI t ai i g.
