Modal says Nvidia delivered its first Vera CPU server and it plans to power Sandboxes for agent and RL workloads with Vera. On its own single-node benchmark, Modal reports up to double the task throughput of an equivalent x86 machine, with similar or lower single-task latency. No rollout date or pricing was given.
