Earlier this month, Nvidia announced partnerships with major financial firms including Apollo Global Management, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs and KKR, aimed at mobilizing more than $500 billion in capital for AI computing infrastructure.
The change represents a significant restructuring of Nvidia’s role in financing the planned facility, which is being developed by SB Energy, a subsidiary of SoftBank. Under the revised arrangement, Nvidia would guarantee financing for the project’s first phase, representing roughly 5 gigawatts of capacity, or half of the total proposed capacity. Financing for the remaining capacity would be considered separately at a later stage.
