Modal says Nvidia Vera doubles sandbox throughput

AI cloud company Modal plans to run its agent sandbox product on Nvidia's Arm-based Vera CPU, its first move away from x86. In its own unverified tests, Vera handled up to twice as many container-packed tasks as an Intel server, which Modal credits to memory bandwidth. The sandbox product generates $300M a year.
