For years, artificial intelligence in business meant a feature. A smarter search bar. A fraud score. A recommendation engine tucked inside a larger product.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s arriving now is different. AI agents take instructions, break them into steps and finish the job. A finance team\u2019s AI agent doesn\u2019t flag an anomaly and wait for a human to investigate. It investigates, pulls the relevant records, drafts the memo and routes it for review. The compute infrastructure required to do that is nothing like what powered the last generation of AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgentic AI has arrived,\u201d Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on the company\u2019s fiscal first-quarter earnings call. \u201cAI can now do productive and valuable work. Tokens are now profitable.\u201d Infrastructure that is powering agents completing real work is no longer discretionary spending. It carries a return on every task it finishes.<\/p>\n

Two Layers Behind AI Workflow<\/h2>\n

An AI agent doing real work inside a business operates in two layers. One handles reasoning. The other handles execution.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the thinking happens on GPUs,\u201d Huang said. \u201cAll of the orchestration essentially runs on CPUs. If the AI were to do a search, use a browser, that would run on the CPU.\u201d<\/p>\n

An agent processing a chargeback reasons through the evidence on one layer of hardware. It then pulls the transaction records, files the response and updates the case log on a second layer. The reasoning layer has existed for several years. The execution layer is what\u2019s new. No chip was built for it until now.<\/p>\n

Nvidia\u2019s Vera processor is designed specifically for that execution layer. Prior chips were built to rent processing capacity to many users at once, because that was how cloud economics worked. Agents don\u2019t rent capacity. They need a task completed as fast as possible at the lowest cost per completed action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe economics of AI, of the future, is tokens per dollar,\u201d Huang said. Nvidia told investors it expects…<\/p>\n
