(July 2): Nvidia Corp is looking to expand access to its leading AI hardware by granting token credits to developers in exchange for a share of their future sales.
The company at the heart of the AI boom will help connect AI data centre operators with cloud service providers, simplifying the process for each side and establishing a new recurring “usage‑linked earnings stream” for itself, chief financial officer Colette Kress wrote in a blog post on Wednesday. The aim of its new revenue-sharing model is to build business among researchers and nascent companies without the capital to access large-scale AI resources.
Under the company’s branding of DSX AI factories, an aspiring AI start-up can access the cloud compute resources of a provider like Firmus Technologies with greater speed and flexibility than would otherwise be the case, Kress said.
“For model builders, inference providers, agent platforms and enterprises scaling AI, it can mean faster access to full-stack accelerated computing without waiting through site selection, power procurement, construction and hardware bring-up,” she wrote.
