Nvidia Invests Additional $2 Billion in CoreWeave
Nvidia is investing an additional $2 billion into CoreWeave, the AI cloud infrastructure provider, to accelerate the expansion of its data center capacity to over five gigawatts by 2030. The investment deepens the companies' strategic partnership, aligning their development work and securing Nvidia a privileged customer for future products like the Vera Rubin chip. CoreWeave will be among the first to deploy Nvidia's upcoming technology. Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, emphasized that the investment supports both companies' infrastructure goals and is a small fraction of Nvidia's total infrastructure spending. This follows prior commitments where Nvidia agreed to purchase $6 billion in services from CoreWeave. The move reinforces CoreWeave's position in the AI cloud market, which recently saw a $14.2 billion contract from Meta.
Major strategic investment by Nvidia in CoreWeave, a leading AI cloud provider, signaling growth in AI infrastructure that underpins AI-driven advertising and marketing technologies.
