What builders need to know before anything else Rubin NVL72 is not a better H100 — it is an entirely different form factor. You rent a slice of a 72-GPU rack, not an individual GPU instance. Unit economics are different from anything you have signed today. H2 2026 is the realistic window for access on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and OCI. CoreWeave, Lambda, and Nebius are also deploying. Plan your roadmap accordingly. The inference-to-training ratio is flipping — specialised GPU cloud providers are currently running 70% training / 30% inference capacity, but this ratio is expected to reverse by end of 2026.
