CoreWeave now rents Nvidia's Vera Rubin NVL72 racks, with first customer Cognition reporting up to 4.8x the token throughput on SWE-2 inference. That figure is a best case from a single inference workload, and it is the only customer result behind the launch.

NVIDIA measured TensorRT LLM holding 96.1 to 98.2 percent of its non-confidential output throughput on Blackwell, and it got there by unpinning host memory on the affected paths, moving decode readback off the scheduler thread, and timing kernel tactics with the GPU's global timer instead of CUDA events.

PyTorch says vLLM's frontier models now ship as hardware-specific flat definitions that torch.compile cannot trace, and the new HW agnostic layers are what users on other accelerators get instead. The overhead figure came from an H100.
