The Blackwell platform is coming to Google Cloud in two variations, the HGX B200 and the GB200 NVL72.
Alphabet’s Google announced that Blackwell, Nvidia’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) tech, will be available to cloud customers in early 2025, ahead of the Google Cloud Next keynote.
The Blackwell platform is coming to Google Cloud in two variations, the HGX B200 and the GB200 NVL72. According to Nvidia, the HGX B200 is designed for “the most demanding AI,” data analytics, and high-performance computing workloads, while the GB200 NVL72 is designed for “next-frontier, massive-scale” model trading and real-time inferencing.
Google also announced an initiative to help startups accelerate the creation of generative AI (genAI) applications and services in collaboration with Nvidia. The two companies teamed up to offer some members of Nvidia Inception, the chipmaker’s startup program, up to $350,000 of Google Cloud credits for startups focusing on AI.
