NVIDIA has invested $2 billion in CoreWeave to accelerate the AI infrastructure company's plans to build over 5 gigawatts of data center capacity by 2030. The deal nearly doubles NVIDIA's stake and strengthens their collaboration on AI computing infrastructure.

NVIDIA has invested $2 billion in CoreWeave, expanding their partnership to accelerate the development of AI data centers, reports Reuters. The investment, made at $87.20 per share, nearly doubles NVIDIA’s stake in CoreWeave, making it the company’s second-largest shareholder.

The funding will help CoreWeave advance its goal of building more than 5 gigawatts of AI data center capacity by 2030. CoreWeave plans to use the capital to secure land and power resources required for these facilities.

As part of the collaboration, CoreWeave will integrate NVIDIA’s latest products across its infrastructure, including the upcoming Rubin chip architecture, Bluefield storage systems, and the new Vera CPU line.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
