Scaling Agentic AI Factories Through Extreme Co-Design with NVIDIA BlueField | NVIDIA Technical Blog
Jul 16, 2026

Summary
This post details how agentic AI and long-context inference drive new infrastructure demands, and how BlueField-4, Vera BlueField-4 STX, and DOCA address them by offloading, accelerating, and isolating infrastructure services across the AI factory data path. It highlights the BlueField-4 DPU's capabilities including 800 Gb/s networking, a 64-core Grace CPU, PCIe Gen6, and LPDDR5X memory, and the Vera BlueField-4 STX Storage Processor's role in AI-native storage and KV cache management. DOCA software is emphasized for providing a programmable foundation for context reuse, zero-trust security, and multi-tenant lifecycle management.
