Tesla is on the customer list for Nvidia's newest data-center software. Nvidia launched Minerva, an AIOps platform for running large AI clusters, on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, as part of its GTC Berlin announcements. Nvidia said IREN is already using it, and that Aolani, Bitdeer AI, IBM, Jio, Lambda, Quake AI and Tesla plan to deploy it. Nvidia did not say where or when Tesla would use it.
What Minerva does
- Combines telemetry from GPUs, networking, storage, schedulers and workloads, and builds a knowledge graph mapping GPUs, SuperNICs, switches and cables to the jobs running on them.
- Uses machine learning on billions of data points per hour to detect anomalies, predict failures and group an "event storm" of alerts into one incident with a likely root cause.
- Includes a natural-language AI assistant and can hook into external agent tools or automation, with an option to keep a person in the loop.
Nvidia pitches it around "AI factory yield": GPU hours, goodput, uptime and token production. WebProNews noted the launch post does not put numbers on its claimed gains in time between interruptions or time to repair. Dell Technologies, Lenovo and Supermicro will offer Minerva in their AI factory portfolios.
"NVIDIA Minerva gives our operations team one view across the network, the GPUs and the jobs running on them," IREN CTO Denis Skrinnikoff said. Tesla is scaling its own AI compute; see Optimus production and AI compute plans.
