Nvidia (NVDA) said AI startups can access its chips now and repay by sharing future revenue, adding a recurring, usage-linked earnings stream beyond one-time GPU sales. According to BeInCrypto, the revenue-sharing program was detailed in a July 1 blog post co-authored with CFO Colette Kress, with cloud partners buying Nvidia systems and selling compute access while Nvidia takes a cut of the cloud revenue.
Sharon AI plans to install up to 40,000 Grace Blackwell GB300 chips under the program, while Firmus is building a 360-megawatt campus in Batam, Indonesia, for up to 170,000 more GPUs, operational by Q1 2027.
