NVIDIA began delivering Vera, its first CPU designed for agentic artificial intelligence, to customers on Friday.

The standalone Vera CPU was unveiled by CEO Jensen Huang at GTC San Jose in March, and the company presented it as its next multi-billion dollar business.

NVIDIA said agentic AI requires a different class of processor, and it positioned Vera to meet the specific demands of systems that run autonomous agents.

Initial shipments have reached top AI labs, moving the chip from NVIDIA’s internal development into operational customer environments.
