Earlier this year, the AI startup Fireworks AI wanted to rent hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of AI compute.<\/p>\n

Rather than buying massive clusters of Nvidia’s AI chips, known as GPUs, or renting from cloud giants like Amazon or Microsoft, some startups like Fireworks turn to specialized AI cloud providers \u2014 called neoclouds \u2014 for faster access to GPUs, more competitive pricing, and infrastructure specifically tailored to AI. Fireworks chose the neocloud GMI Cloud.<\/p>\n

There was a catch: To serve Fireworks, GMI first needed to buy the Nvidia GPU systems from a hardware manufacturer \u2014 and banks wouldn’t provide the financing because Fireworks wasn’t an investment-grade company.<\/p>\n

GMI founder and CEO Alex Yeh said they brought the problem to Nvidia and began discussing a new financing model around the beginning of this year. Yeh described it as an “insurance product” in which Nvidia agrees to step in if one of GMI’s customers stops paying. In exchange, GMI shares a portion of its revenue with Nvidia.<\/p>\n

GMI told Business Insider it is committing $500 million to expand its AI infrastructure under this new financing model and said it’s among the first neoclouds in Asia to employ it.<\/p>\n

The arrangement helps neoclouds secure loans they might not otherwise receive, while enabling Nvidia to bring more of its GPUs to market. Yeh said that rising memory prices\u00a0also factor into the model’s economics.<\/p>\n

Fireworks announced this month that it had raised $1.5 billion at a $17.5 billion valuation. Still, Yeh said banks have so far viewed frontier AI startups as non-investment-grade \u2014 though he added that the market is changing quickly.<\/p>\n

Nvidia can expand its customer base<\/h2>\n

Other neoclouds, such as Firmus and Sharon AI, are among the first to work with Nvidia under the new business model the chipmaker announced in July.<\/p>\n

Sharon cofounder and CEO James Manning said the arrangement marks an evolution in its relationship with Nvidia from a traditional supplier to a longer-term partner.<\/p>\n

David Nicholson, chief technology advisor at The Futurum Group, said the strategy helps Nvidia broaden its customer base beyond top cloud providers \u2014 many of which are developing their own competing AI chips.<\/p>\n

Brad Gastwirth, global head of research and market intelligence at Circular Technology, called the model smart, though he said it could be a “yellow flag” for investors, with the key question being how selectively Nvidia chooses which neoclouds to support to limit its financial risk.<\/p>\n

Nvidia has previously been criticized for ‘circular financing’<\/h2>\n

The arrangement echoes Nvidia’s intertwined relationships with companies like CoreWeave and OpenAI, in which it is both an investor and a supplier.<\/p>\n

Arman Aleksanian, cofounder and CEO of the neocloud Eleveight AI \u2014 which is not in Nvidia’s new financing program but is monitoring it \u2014 said critiques about “circular financing” were fair to consider, but only if the financing supports GPU purchases that aren’t backed by actual demand.<\/p>\n

“What I’d say is that circular financing is only dangerous when it manufactures demand that isn’t actually there,” he said. “If the capacity runs hot with real paying customers, then the financing did its job.”<\/p>\n
