Nvidia teams up with Wall Street asset managers on $500 billion AI infrastructure push
The consortium would back AI data centers, power and chip purchases as Nvidia seeks to widen access to scarce computing capacity.
- On Aug 10, Nvidia partnered with financial firms Apollo Global and Blackstone to assemble a $500 billion funding package for AI infrastructure development, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
- Big Tech companies signaled that spending on artificial intelligence will not slow down, with combined outlays projected to surpass $730 billion this year, driving demand for massive capital investment.
- The Financial Times reported the funding group includes BlackRock, Global Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, and KKR, negotiating to partner with Nvidia on the large-scale build-out.
