Australian AI infrastructure company Firmus Technologies has signed a strategic partnership with Nvidia Corp to provide emerging AI firms with more cost-effective access to computing power.
The deal will see Firmus buy Nvidia infrastructure and sell Nvidia-powered cloud services to AI Native customers, among others, in an agreement that will earn the U.S.-listed chip giant product revenue and a share of cloud revenue.
Deal Details
The deal will deliver 170,000 Graphics Processing Units (GPU) from the first quarter of 2027 to the start of 2028, that will be located in Batam, Indonesia. Firmus said it expected to earn up to $30 billion in revenue during the first six years of the deal, based on customer commitments.
Firmus co-chief executive Tim Rosenfield said the deal would make it easier for smaller and developing AI firms to access the technology’s infrastructure. “We have worked to figure out how to close the gap between the cost benefits that the large guys have access to, which they do because they have great credit ratings, and the guys that are up and comers,” Rosenfield said.
