Nvidia supplies SpaceX with custom processors for AI agents in space and ground networks

Elon Musk's AI arm, SpaceXAI, is deploying Nvidia's new Vera central processing units to manage back-end tasks for its Grok assistant. The chips will coordinate automated workflows across ground-based data centers as well as on Starmind, an upcoming satellite designed to run AI models directly in orbit. Nvidia developed the standalone processor to remove operational bottlenecks when autonomous agents interact with external tools and code.
