Elon Musk says SpaceX will exclusively use Nvidia GPUs 'because they are the best' — says optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 will be launched into space next year

DS426 We think the design of the NVL72 VR computer is a much better design than, say, having a standard rack style design." Ever heard of AMD Helios? nVidia is just their wet dream of a company — the everything "Super" company. Funny that Anthropic and OpenAI consistently have better models than SpaceXAI, even though they use AMD hardware (even if mostly CPU's and not GPU's). Better tools and a better ecosystem for business users as well. Reply

Otherwise, you'd think you'd want to keep an opinion like that to yourself, and at least give the impression you'd consider alternatives when trying to get good pricing on that big order. Reply

Nvidia having the most powerful and most efficient GPUs isn't a secret. Nvidia knows that Elon knows that it isn't a secret! Elon also likes to troll and stir the pot! Reply
