Nvidia's new Vera CPU is the chip the AI industry needs — and Jack Dorsey is betting on it for Buzz

Nvidia just shipped the Vera CPU, a purpose-built processor for the kind of workloads AI is throwing at data centers now. It's not a rehash of the server CPUs Intel and AMD have been pushing. It's designed from the ground up for the way models actually run — heavy on memory bandwidth, tight on latency, and dense enough to pack a lot of compute into a rack. The press is calling it a big deal; the engineers are nodding.

Jack Dorsey is taking a different kind of bet with the same hardware. Buzz, his new group-chat platform for teams and their AI agents, is built around the idea that agents and humans share the same room — not the same app, but the same conversation. That's a small pivot with a big consequence: Slack spent a decade building a place for people to talk. Dorsey is building a place for people and agents to talk to each other.

Why this matters for us: Vera is the kind of chip that makes the next wave of AI tools cheaper and faster, and Dorsey's bet on agents in group chat means the tools we use for work are about to shift under our feet. If the hardware is right and the agents are useful, the people who adapt first get the advantage — whether they're the ones writing the prompts or the ones just trying to get through the day.
