NVIDIA compute is an investable asset &#8211; one which provides the lowest token cost, highest revenue and longest life along with a rich ecosystem of offtakers built upon NVIDIA\u2019s CUDA platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memorandums of understanding signed with six of the world\u2019s premier financial institutions to create these partnerships aim to establish the first compute financing platforms of their kind at global scale to enable the AI infrastructure buildout across NVIDIA\u2019s ecosystem, including leading frontier AI labs, enterprises and AI clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under these strategic partnerships, NVIDIA will work with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to create dedicated pools of capital at significant scale at attractive rates for NVIDIA customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNVIDIA has reached an important milestone. We began by building chips; today, we are helping create a new class of productive, investable infrastructure: AI factories,\u201d said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. \u201cIn AI, compute is revenue. NVIDIA compute is uniquely suited for this role. It is broadly adopted, flexible across models and workloads, fungible and transferable across customers and operators, and continuously improved through CUDA software &#8211; &nbsp;extending its useful life and improving its economics over time. It is supported by a deep global ecosystem of developers, customers and offtakers. That is why we are bringing the world\u2019s leading long-term capital providers together to independently underwrite AI infrastructure. These financing platforms will help customers access scarce compute at scale and build the DSX AI factories that will power every industry and country in the age of AI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cModern compute has emerged as a scarce, mission-critical asset class with compelling investment characteristics that is positioned to drive significant long-term economic growth and productivity gains,\u201d said Apollo President Jim Zelter. \u201cThe combination of NVIDIA\u2019s proprietary technology ecosystem and Apollo\u2019s flexible, long-term capital base provides a strong foundation to support the next stage of the AI buildout as part of the broader Global Industrial Renaissance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe AI buildout will require unprecedented investment and a skilled workforce to turn that investment into the infrastructure that will help power future growth,\u201d said Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO, BlackRock. \u201cThis partnership deepens our relationship with NVIDIA, including through the AI Infrastructure Partnership, and brings together NVIDIA\u2019s leadership in accelerated computing with BlackRock\u2019s ability to connect long-term capital to essential infrastructure. Together, we can help deliver the compute capacity that companies need to grow and create more jobs, supporting the continued growth of the US and global economies, while creating attractive, long-term investment opportunities for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNVIDIA has created extraordinary demand for its compute through an intense focus on customer value and versatile technology,\u201d said Jon Gray, President and COO, Blackstone. \u201cWe continue to be enormous investors globally across the NVIDIA ecosystem, and this announcement further underscores our confidence in their platform and the future of AI infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs our strategic partner, NVIDIA is enabling us to scale AI factories. We are excited about further collaboration to build and fund the backbone of AI globally,\u201d said Bruce Flatt, CEO, Brookfield. \u201cWith demand for large-scale AI compute growing significantly as adoption scales across industries, compute is fast becoming the essential layer of infrastructure and a core pillar of the Brookfield AI infrastructure strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in a pivotal moment of a historic AI investment cycle. NVIDIA\u2019s full-stack platform is in high demand and uniquely positioned at the center of that global buildout,\u201d said David Solomon, Chairman and CEO, Goldman Sachs. \u201cOur investment and distribution roles reflect our confidence in NVIDIA\u2019s leadership, and we\u2019re excited for the new opportunity to create a market for credit backed by NVIDIA compute.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCompute has become a critical infrastructure asset. As we\u2019ve scaled our approach to digital infrastructure, we\u2019ve learned that delivery, not ambition, is the hard part. That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to build on our strategic partnership with NVIDIA, a founding investor in Helix Digital Infrastructure, to bring together NVIDIA\u2019s accelerated computing platform with KKR\u2019s long-duration capital, infrastructure expertise and capital markets capabilities to turn growing demand into real capacity at extraordinary scale,\u201d said Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, Co-Chief Executive Officers, KKR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These partnerships remain subject to execution of the final agreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New financing platforms turn NVIDIA compute and full-stack AI infrastructure into an investable asset class for global capital, broadening access to AI factories, enabling long-duration usage-linked revenue while supporting NVIDIA\u2019s ecosystem growth across hardware sales and software adoption.
