Nvidia Partners with Six Financial Giants to Mobilize $500B for AI Compute Financing
新智元 · wechat · 2026-08-11
Nvidia announced partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to establish an AI compute financing platform targeting over $500 billion in third-party capital. The platform will fund data centers and GPU purchases for AI labs, enterprises, and cloud providers. Jensen Huang calls AI factory compute an investable asset class. This shifts compute costs to Wall Street, similar to aircraft leasing. Market reaction was mixed: Nvidia shares fell, while financial firms rose, raising concerns about circular financing.
