kevinsxu · x · 2026-08-13
A Nebius employee shared the company's latest AI infrastructure progress and its core business equation: $/MW × MW activated × speed-to-revenue × funding efficiency + software leverage.
- Value per MW surges: The 2026 base was around $12M/MW, but deals signed in Q2 came in above $20M/MW. Short-term capacity opportunities are reaching $40–50M/MW.
- Hardware & Pricing: Pricing on older gen GPUs increased by more than 30% vs Q1, and the first Blackwell capacity auction cleared 15% above expectations.
Commenters noted that funding efficiency and software leverage are Nebius's unique advantages, which are finally showing up in the financial numbers.
