Under the terms of the arrangement, Nvidia “is obligated to purchase the residual unsold capacity” through April 2032, CoreWeave said in a filing. The company said it plans to include a copy of the full agreement alongside its third-quarter financial results.
“The agreement reflects the scale, trust, and pivotal role CoreWeave plays in accelerating AI innovation worldwide,” a CoreWeave spokesperson said in an email.
CoreWeave already spends heavily on hundreds of thousands of Nvidia graphics processing units, or GPUs, which it then rents out to clients. The company, which went public in March, is backed by Nvidia, owner of about 7% of CoreWeave’s Class A shares as of June 30.
Mike Intrator, CoreWeave’s CEO, said in a March interview that he is “not bashful” about reaching out to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
In its initial public offering prospectus, CoreWeave warned that it is dependent on a limited number of suppliers, and all of the GPUs in its infrastructure at the time had come from Nvidia. Cloud providers AmazonGoogleMicrosoftOracle
In August, CoreWeave reported $1.21 billion in second-quarter revenue, up 207% year over year. The company has continued to lose money, recording a $290.5 million net loss during the period.
While CoreWeave is largely reliant on Nvidia chips for its business, the company has other large customers when it comes to compute capacity. Earlier this year, CoreWeave secured a contract with OpenAI that is worth $11.9 billion over five years.
With Monday’s rally, CoreWeave shares have tripled since their IPO, and the company is now valued at more than $58 billion.
