Check out what Levon answered when I asked Levon to describe Nebius in just 3 words, his response captured their entire mission:

We also discussed:

🌎 What makes Nebius different from other cloud players

🏭 The specific industries and customer segments they're doubling down on

🧠 The real challenges facing model builders and AI labs—especially in today’s race to win the generative AI game

If you’re working on GenAI or building scalable models, you’ll want to keep an eye on what Nebius is doing next. Their momentum is real.

Building a cloud for AI is more than just stacking GPUs together—it requires deep software expertise and hardware innovation working in sync. At NVIDIA GTC, I had the chance to sit down with Gleb K. and Oleg Fedorov from Nebius to break down what it really takes to build a high-performance AI cloud from scratch.Gleb, leading the software side, shared insights into the complexities of AI cloud infrastructure, while Oleg, focusing on hardware, talked about the compute power needed to support today’s AI demands.We covered:✅ What it means to be a "serial cloud builder" and how Gleb transitioned from managing data centers to architecting AI-first cloud solutions✅ Why an AI cloud is much more than just a collection of GPUs and how Nebius optimized for speed and efficiency✅ The key ingredients of “good compute” and what it takes to deliver top-tier performance in AI workloads✅ How Nebius and NVIDIA are working together to push the boundaries of AI infrastructureThis interview is about the software-hardware synergy that powers AI innovation and the future of AI cloud computing.#data #ai #nebius #nvidiagtc2025 #theravitshow

How do you turn powerful AI models into real-world impact—without the complexity? During NVIDIA GTC, I had the chance to speak with Dylan Bristot, Senior AI Product Marketing Manager, Nebius, on The Ravit Show about how Nebius AI Studio is bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI and enterprise readiness.

Dylan walked us through:

-- What Nebius AI Studio is—and how it’s built to solve real challenges organizations face when implementing AI

-- The core services that power the platform, from training and fine-tuning to deployment and scaling

-- The diverse model ecosystem available on the studio and how Nebius decides which models to support

-- The growing importance of open-source AI, and how Nebius is contributing to that evolution

We also explored one of the most creative showcases at GTC: the “Street Fighter III AI Arena” demo. Beyond the fun and nostalgia, it demonstrates the real-world potential of vision models—and how AI can learn, adapt, and compete in dynamic environments.

This was a deep dive into what it takes to make AI useful, usable, and scalable—while keeping the developer experience front and center.

One of the highlights of my time at NVIDIA GTC? Sitting down with none other than Krish Naik—one of India’s biggest voices in the Data & AI space and a powerhouse educator on YouTube.

We had a deep, candid conversation about:

— The future of AI Agents

— Key takeaways from NVIDIA GTC

— What’s next in AI innovation

— His new company (yes, something exciting is brewing!)

— And his ongoing mission to make Data & AI education accessible to millions

Krish has taught and inspired an entire generation of data professionals—including many who tuned into The Ravit Show. Hearing his perspective in person was something I won’t forget.

If you’re in Data or AI, you’ve probably learned something from him.

Stay tuned—because his next chapter sounds even more impactful.

When we talk about AI, we often focus on models, data, and compute. But here’s a question we don’t ask enough: What’s connecting it all together?

At NVIDIA GTC last week, I caught up with Praful Lalchandani, VP of Product for Data Center Platform and AI Solutions at Juniper Networks on The Ravit Show, and we unpacked something that’s often overlooked—the networking layer powering the AI boom.

Key highlights from our conversation:

-- Why networking is not just plumbing—but a key strategic driver in AI

-- Juniper’s GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS): Making AI more cost-efficient and scalable

-- The shift toward an open, multivendor AI ecosystem

-- The evolving role of the AI data center and how Juniper is helping reshape it

If you're building or modernizing for AI, this is a conversation worth tuning into.
