NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced the release of its Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design and general availability of the Omniverse DSX Blueprint at its GTC conference. The reference design provides guidelines for building AI infrastructure that the company states delivers maximum token per watt and accelerated time to production.

The Omniverse DSX Blueprint, now available on build.nvidia.com, enables digital twins for large-scale AI factory design and simulation. The blueprint is compatible with the Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design.

Multiple industry companies are integrating with the DSX architecture. Technology partners include Cadence, Dassault Systèmes, Eaton, Jacobs, NScale, Phaidra, Procore Technologies, PTC, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Switch, Trane Technologies and Vertiv. Energy sector participants include Emerald AI, GE Vernova, Hitachi and Siemens Energy.

The Vera Rubin DSX software stack includes four main components: DSX Max-Q for maximizing computing output within power budgets, DSX Flex for connecting to power-grid services, DSX Exchange for integration of various system signals, and DSX Sim for digital twin modeling validation.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated the reference design and blueprint provide "the foundation to build the world's most productive AI factories, accelerating time to first revenue and maximizing scale and energy efficiency."

Several companies have announced specific implementations. Switch is building EVO AI Factories using the blueprint, while Nscale and Caterpillar are developing a multi-gigawatt site in West Virginia. Phaidra has integrated DSX Max-Q into its AI agent, reporting approximately 10% more compute efficiency.

The announcement addresses power infrastructure challenges facing AI development, with NVIDIA citing over $300 billion in equipment backlogs and more than 200 gigawatts of projects in U.S. interconnection queues.
