Adds that NVIDIA’s Q2 FY2027 earnings filing names Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Nebius as additional Vera Rubin rack users; no public Vera Rubin NVL72 prices; CoreWeave ARENA is an evaluation gate for current customers (new-team applications said to open Q2 2026—note calendar tension with Oct 2026 article).
