NVIDIA Launches Minerva for End-to-End AI Factory Observability

NVIDIA has launched Minerva, an AI operations platform designed to provide end-to-end observability for AI factories. The system is built to help operators detect problems earlier, reduce downtime, and improve the productivity of large-scale AI infrastructure by combining telemetry from GPUs, networking, storage, schedulers and workloads into a single operational view. As AI factories grow, they operate with hundreds of thousands of GPUs connected through high-speed networks, making even small hardware or software issues capable of slowing major jobs. Traditional monitoring tools often present these signals in separate views for networking, compute, site reliability and machine learning teams. Minerva addresses that fragmentation by connecting data across the full infrastructure stack and mapping it through a dynamic knowledge graph. This allows teams to trace degraded performance to the specific component responsible, whether it is a GPU, SuperNIC, switch, cable or workload. The platform analyzes billions of data points per hour using supervised and unsupervised machine learning. It learns normal behavior, identifies new anomalies, predicts emerging failures and correlates related events based on factory topology. Rather than flooding operators with isolated alerts, Minerva can group event storms into focused incidents with likely root causes, helping teams move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive maintenance. Minerva also includes a native AI assistant and supports connections to external agentic AI tools. Through a natural-language interface grounded in live telemetry, operators can investigate cluster health, ask questions about performance issues and receive recommended remediation steps. Fixes can be handled manually or automated through infrastructure APIs and external systems. NVIDIA positions Minerva as a tool to maximize AI factory yield by improving key metrics such as GPU hours, goodput, cluster uptime and token production. IREN is already using the platform to optimize its AI factories, according to chief technology officer Denis Skrinnikoff, who said Minerva gives operations teams one view across the network, GPUs and jobs, enabling a stronger focus on proactive maintenance. Aolani, Bitdeer AI, IBM, Jio, Lambda, Quake AI and Tesla also plan to deploy Minerva, while Dell Technologies, Lenovo and Supermicro will offer it as part of their AI factory operations portfolios.
