First AI cloud to adopt Groq 3 LPX for its Token Factory service and one of the earliest to deploy Vera Rubin NVL72 across US and European data centers starting H2 2026, giving it an early pricing and availability edge over slower-moving clouds.
Ran the industry's first bring-up and validation of Vera Rubin NVL72 in production, positioning itself as Nvidia's reference deployment partner - though a $2 billion Nvidia equity stake hasn't stopped analysts from questioning its place in the chip allocation queue.
Building its AI infrastructure - from Earth data centers to orbital satellites - specifically around Vera Rubin and Vera CPUs for agent orchestration, tool use, and simulation; its exclusive commitment to Nvidia chips is itself a competitive lever against other buyers.

Cloverleaf Infrastructure
Received a minority equity investment worth several hundred million dollars from Nvidia to secure grid capacity for future data centers, having already sold more than 7 gigawatts of powered land - effectively becoming Nvidia's proxy in the land-and-power market.
SoftBank's power subsidiary took a roughly $1.5 billion Nvidia equity stake tied to a 20-year Ohio campus already leased to OpenAI, tying Nvidia's capital directly to a rival cloud tenant's build-out.
Received a $2 billion Nvidia investment; its Abilene, Texas campus already hosts Oracle infrastructure that OpenAI rents, making Lancium another point where Nvidia's equity and OpenAI's compute footprint overlap.
