Nvidia tackles AI factory scaling bottlenecks with open rack designs and networking advances

What happened

today announced new partnerships and contributions to the open-source community at the Open Compute Project Global Summit in San Jose, aimed at laying the foundation for the future of agentic (AI that carries out multi-step tasks rather than answering one question) artificial intelligence infrastructure.

UPDATED 11:00 EDT / OCTOBER 12 2026 INFRA Nvidia tackles AI factory scaling bottlenecks with open rack designs and networking advances by Kyt Dotson Nvidia Corp. At the core of these announcements, the chip and hardware giant contributed key Vera Rubin rack and compute tray designs to the Open Compute Project through the company’s Nvidia MGX architecture .

“The real bottleneck for the industry right now is how fast the world can manufacture and deploy AI factories,” AI Infrastructure Solutions Lead Joe DeLaere said. Through MGX 1.2, Nvidia is also providing open components that let engineers quickly scale and bind-mate liquid cooling and interoperable, rack-level interconnect infrastructure for high-power AI systems. “Between model calls, agents need to do orchestration,” DeLaera said.
