The vLLM project has announced support for NVIDIA Vera Rubin, a new hardware accelerator. Initial benchmarks indicate that Vera Rubin can achieve over 7.8 times the throughput of the GB200, particularly when used with the MiniMax M3 on the AgentX platform. This advancement in hardware efficiency suggests that cheaper tokens do not necessarily mean less computational power, but rather more efficient utilization of it, as open-weight models consume similar resources to closed models of comparable size.
