On August 10, 2026, NVIDIA announced memorandums of understanding with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to create independent compute financing platforms intended to mobilize over $500 billion of third-party capital for AI infrastructure buildout over time. The platforms are meant to create dedicated pools of capital for NVIDIA customers, including frontier AI labs, enterprises and AI clouds, and to support construction of what NVIDIA calls DSX AI factories. Jensen Huang framed NVIDIA compute as an investable asset class, citing fungibility across customers and operators and CUDA-driven useful-life extension; Goldman Sachs' David Solomon referenced creating a market for credit backed by NVIDIA compute. NVIDIA stated the partnerships remain subject to execution of final agreements.
