NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs are now available on Civo

We’re excited to share that NVIDIA’s next-generation Blackwell B200 GPUs are now available on Civo. This launch marks a major milestone in our vision for Civo AI: to make artificial intelligence easy to adopt, affordable to scale, and accessible to all. With instant access to Blackwell B200 GPUs, you can now bring exceptional speed, energy efficiency, and scalability to your most demanding AI and generative workloads.

What you need to know about the NVIDIA B200 GPU

The NVIDIA B200 GPU delivers record-breaking speed and performance gains across a wide range of workloads. Compared to the previous generation H100, the B200 offers:

• Up to 2.3× greater peak performance, delivering more compute power for intensive AI operations.
• More than double the speed on real-world AI workloads, from training to inference.
• Accelerated training throughput by up to 4×, reducing model development cycles dramatically.
• 25× greater energy efficiency, lowering operational costs while scaling sustainably.

These improvements mean you can train more complex models in less time, run inference at scale without bottlenecks, and significantly reduce your operational energy footprint.

When looking at common use cases for the H100 Hopper and B200 Blackwell models, there are some clear differences:
