NVIDIA’s July 1 revenue-sharing and credit-support model gives AI cloud partners a new way to finance large GPU deployments, while giving NVIDIA a usage-linked cut of supported cloud revenue. Sharon AI and Firmus are the first test cases, with plans for up to 210,000 GPUs across Australia and Indonesia.
Firmus will build a 360 MW Nvidia DSX AI factory campus in Batam, Indonesia, with access to as many as 170,000 Nvidia accelerators. The deal shows how AI infrastructure is shifting from one-off data centers toward financed cloud capacity for AI-native companies.
