① SA Source

Context Before

Optics will be required for the inter-rack connections, though strictly speaking it isn’t confirmed whether this will be with pluggable optics or with CPO, though CPO seems much more likely. The current Blackwell NVL576 prototype “Polyphe” uses pluggable optics.

Evidence

We have shown a concept of NVL576 for GB200 previously with pluggable optics to interconnect the second layer of NVLink switches.

Context After

The use of pluggables contributed to an enormous increase in BOM cost that made the system untenable from a TCO perspective for a switched all-to-all. However, it is plausible that Rubin Ultra NVL576 will be rolled out in test volumes before Feynman NVL1152, where we will see actual volume ramp of scale-up CPO.
