NVIDIA and CoreWeave Strengthen Collaboration to Accelerate Buildout of AI Factories

28 Jan 2026

NVIDIA and CoreWeave, Inc. have announced an expansion of their long-standing strategic partnership to help CoreWeave accelerate the development of more than 5 gigawatts of AI factory capacity by 2030, supporting the global scaling of AI adoption.

As part of the expanded collaboration, NVIDIA has made a $2 billion investment in CoreWeave’s Class A common stock at a purchase price of $87.20 per share. This move highlights NVIDIA’s strong confidence in CoreWeave’s business model, leadership, and long-term growth strategy as a cloud platform built on NVIDIA-powered infrastructure.

With AI demand continuing to surge and compute requirements reaching unprecedented levels, the two companies are deepening their alignment across infrastructure, software, and platforms. Under this expanded partnership, NVIDIA and CoreWeave plan to:

Build AI factories developed and operated by CoreWeave using NVIDIA’s leading accelerated computing platform technology to meet customer demand.
Leverage NVIDIA’s financial strength to accelerate CoreWeave’s procurement of land, power and shell to build AI factories.
Test and validate CoreWeave’s AI-native software and reference architecture, including SUNK and CoreWeave Mission Control, to unlock deeper interoperability and work towards including those offerings within NVIDIA’s reference architectures for NVIDIA’s cloud partners and enterprise customers.
Deploy multiple generations of NVIDIA infrastructure across CoreWeave’s platform through early adoption of NVIDIA computing architectures, including the NVIDIA Rubin platform, NVIDIA Vera CPUs and NVIDIA BlueField® storage systems.

“AI is entering its next frontier and driving the largest infrastructure buildout in human history,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “CoreWeave’s deep AI factory expertise, platform software and unmatched execution velocity are recognized across the industry. Together, we’re racing to meet extraordinary demand for NVIDIA AI factories — the foundation of the AI industrial revolution.”

“From the very beginning, our collaboration has been guided by a simple conviction: AI succeeds when software, infrastructure and operations are designed together,” said Michael Intrator, co-founder, chairman and CEO of CoreWeave. “NVIDIA is the leading and most requested computing platform at every phase of AI — from pre-training to post-training — and Blackwell provides the lowest cost architecture for inference. This expanded collaboration underscores the strength of demand we are seeing across our customer base and the broader market signals as AI systems move into large-scale production.”

The collaboration builds on CoreWeave’s purpose-built cloud, software and operational expertise, extending proven capabilities that enable customers to run the most demanding AI workloads efficiently, reliably and at scale.
