The strategic alliance with major financial players—Apollo Global, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR—launches a $500 billion investment platform, signaling a shift toward capitalizing on AI compute power. This move lowers barriers for smaller firms and labs, while extending the lifecycle of chips like A100 through long-term leasing, enhancing pricing power.
