The AI landscape is moving at a breakneck pace, and today we are shifting into a new gear. We are thrilled to announce that NVIDIA B300 (Blackwell Ultra) GPUs are now also available in IBM Cloud Code Engine Serverless Fleets.
By bringing NVIDIA’s most powerful Blackwell-architecture GPU to our serverless platform, we are giving developers the ability to run the world’s most demanding reasoning models and massive-scale simulations without the burden of infrastructure management.
Why Use B300 with Serverless Fleets?#
“Serverless Fleets" make the B300 accessible and cost-effective. While Blackwell GPUs are power-hungry (1,400W TDP) and expensive to reserve, Code Engine changes the economics:
Zero Idle Costs: The B300 is a high-performance asset. In a traditional setup, you pay for it 24/7. With Code Engine, your Fleet scales to zero when your job is done. Billing starts the moment a GPU is initialized, and you are only charged for the GPU‑seconds it is active.
Massive Parallelism without the Headaches: Serverless Fleets allow you to submit thousands of tasks to a single endpoint. Code Engine automatically provisions the B300 resources, distributes the tasks, and decommissions the GPUs when the work is complete.
Blackwell-Ready Abstraction: No need to configure liquid cooling or 800Gbps networking. We handle the intense infrastructure requirements of the Blackwell architecture so you can focus on your vllM or PyTorch code.
Seamless Model Fitting: The massive 288GB VRAM means you can run larger batch sizes or longer context windows (up to 128k+ tokens) on a single node, significantly reducing the latency overhead of inter-GPU communication.
Ready to Scale?#
Whether you are fine-tuning the latest Granite models or running high-throughput inference for a global application, the B300 on Code Engine is your new high-performance home.
Get Started: View the Code Engine Serverless Fleets documentation to learn how to configure your first GPU-enabled fleet.
Step-by-Step Tutorial: Follow our GPU Batch Processing tutorials on GitHub for real-world examples.
