Nvidia Blackwell coming to Google Cloud by 2025
Google has announced that Blackwell, Nvidia's latest and most capable artificial intelligence (AI) tech, will be available to cloud customers in early 2025. The announcement came ahead of the Google Cloud Next keynote last Tuesday.
The Blackwell platform is coming to Google Cloud in two variations, the HGX B200 and the GB200 NVL72. While the HGX B200 is designed for "the most demanding AI," and high-performance computing workloads, the NVL72 is designed for "next-frontier, massive-scale" model trading and real-time inferencing.
Nvidia unveiled the Blackwell platform, the latest version of its AI-powering tech in March. Analysts have termed it the "most ambitious project in Silicon Valley," with the chipmaker having established itself as an early leader of the AI boom. Nvidia had since named Amazon and Microsoft alongside Google as partners set to use the new hardware.
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 have joined hands 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.
