NVIDIA and Noetra to Deploy Vera Rubin AI Factory in Japan

NVIDIA said it will work with Noetra Corp. to deploy an NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI factory in Japan, built to support physical AI workloads. The effort ties to Japan’s FRONTia Project that METI launched around development of multimodal foundation models for AI robotics and physical AI.

Noetra will establish the facility, and METI is listed as a supporter of the initiative. The announcement also references a broader physical AI ecosystem effort described as centered on the FRONTia Project and connected to development for manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, telecommunications, and other areas.

The AI factory will be built with 13,750 NVIDIA Vera CPUs and 27,500 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs. Noetra said the system will use NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 racks, run through the NVIDIA DSX platform, and connect with NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking.

Noetra said pretrained weights from its multimodal foundation models will be made broadly available to domestic model developers and enterprises, along with software that includes NVIDIA Nemotron, NVIDIA Cosmos, and NVIDIA Isaac GR00T open models, and NVIDIA NeMo libraries. The facility is described as being built on a DSX AI factory architecture and set to deliver 140 megawatts of data center capacity along with items including NVIDIA BlueField DPUs and tightly codesigned silicon, systems, and software. “Japan invented modern manufacturing. Now, it is building the AI factories that will power the next industrial revolution,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
