Nvidia backs CoreWeave with $2B to fuel AI infrastructure

The investment will help the neocloud vendor add five gigawatts of AI-optimized compute by 2030, the two companies said Monday.

Dive Brief: 

• Nvidia invested $2 billion in neocloud provider CoreWeave, the company said Monday. The investment marks the latest expansion of a partnership that aims to add more than five gigawatts of "AI factories" — specialized computing data centers — by 2030. 
• Nvidia and CoreWeave are “deepening their infrastructure, software and platform alignment” to enable greater interoperability across products as part of the deal. AI compute hubs built by CoreWeave will use Nvidia’s accelerated computing platform technology, according to the announcement. 
• “From the very beginning, our collaboration has been guided by a simple conviction: AI succeeds when software, infrastructure and operations are designed together,” Michael Intrator, co-founder, chairman and CEO of CoreWeave, said in the announcement.
