Nvidia Supports AI Startups to Counter Tech Giants
Nvidia is increasingly acting as a central bank for AI startups, actively shaping the computing market. The chip giant offers young cloud providers extensive financial guarantees so they can afford expensive AI chips. In return, Nvidia receives a direct share of their cloud revenues. More specifically, the company promises to lease out its unused GPUs if the providers fail to attract AI developers as clients.
"Nvidia is killing two birds with one stone," said a data center executive to The Information. If Nvidia only guaranteed construction leases, "you would still face the question: 'How do you finance the GPUs?'" But when Nvidia guarantees that it will pay for unused computing capacity, "the GPUs are financed and the data center is financed."
This approach helps Nvidia reduce its heavy reliance on tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, which still purchase the majority of its chips while building their own AI hardware.
