NVIDIA has introduced a revenue-sharing GPU supply model, providing token credits to AI startups with limited capital upfront. The program, announced by CFO Colette Kress, connects AI cloud operators with startups, offering GPU credits in exchange for a share of future sales revenue. NVIDIA also guarantees compute capacity for underutilized GPUs, effectively acting as a backstop for cloud providers. Initial partners include Australia's Sharon AI and Singapore's Permus Technology, with deployments involving up to 40,000 Grace Blackwell GB300 GPUs in a planned Indonesian AI factory.
