How they use Nebius AI Cloud
Rhoda uses Nebius GPUs and storage to train robotics models from large video collections. In its August 2026 customer interview, the team described doubling its compute with Nebius, using managed Kubernetes and Slurm to manage training, and keeping petabyte-scale data close to the cluster. Rhoda emphasized that compute interconnection matters alongside capacity and chip reliability. Storage infrastructure built by Nebius alongside the cluster allowed the team to focus more on model development and robotics performance.
Rhoda also described testing Nebius infrastructure and considering chip reliability in its decision-making. At Inflection 2026, Rhoda reported that the larger setup let it run more experiments while saving over $1 million that year.
