NVIDIA's Vera CPU reportedly reached up to 2x the throughput of comparable x86 under load
Modal says the gap emerged under heavy sandbox load, while Vera was not always faster on a quiet host.
TLDR
Modal says NVIDIA's Vera CPU delivered up to 2x the throughput of a comparable x86 machine in early AI agent tests under load. On a quiet machine, Vera was often faster, but not always and not by much. Modal credits Vera's high memory bandwidth for the loaded result and plans to add support despite having to rework its x86-only infrastructure.
