ABOUT THIS EPISODE
AI infrastructure used to be the part developers were supposed to forget about. What happens when the infrastructure itself starts determining what AI can do
Corey Noles sits down with Chen Goldberg, Executive Vice President, Product & Engineering at CoreWeave, to unpack the systems underneath the next wave of AI. Using CoreWeave’s newly announced multi-rack NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 deployment as a jumping-off point, Chen explains why modern AI infrastructure is no longer just a question of how many GPUs you can get. Compute, networking, storage, cooling, observability, security, and orchestration all have to behave like one enormous machine.
The conversation moves from long-running AI agents and latency to Kubernetes, security guardrails, physical AI, energy constraints, and the changing role of software engineers. Chen also explains why CoreWeave sees AI as a transformational rather than incremental shift — and why making this infrastructure accessible matters if the benefits are going to reach more than a small group of companies and researchers.
