CoreWeave (CRWV), the cloud GPU powerhouse, has once again shaken up the AI infrastructure world with its bold moves and cutting-edge tech. In a landmark acquisition, the company recently announced a formal agreement to buy Core Scientific, a former crypto mining heavyweight. 
This strategic move unlocks a massive boost in power capacity-crucial for AI and HPC tasks-and sets CoreWeave apart in an increasingly crowded market.
According to analyst Kevin Dede from H.C. Wainwright, the developments over just a few days have radically shifted the CoreWeave narrative. While he maintains a ‘Neutral’ rating, Dede acknowledged the company’s distinct competitive edge, especially in how swiftly it brings NVIDIA’s latest GPUs to market. As he puts it, CoreWeave is forcing rivals “into the shadows” by being the first to roll out bleeding-edge hardware like the GB300 and GB200 at scale.
Now offering both the GB300 NVL72-ideal for large-scale AI model training-and the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell systems for visually intensive creative AI, CoreWeave caters to a broad range of advanced computing needs. These options solidify its position at the forefront of GPU-as-a-Service innovation.
Crucially, CoreWeave doesn’t just rely on technological flash. Its business model is engineered for stability and growth. Nearly 96% of its revenue comes from long-term committed contracts, most with hefty upfront payments. That cash not only ensures financial predictability but also funds infrastructure expansion. Even more impressively, the company uses its vast cache of NVIDIA GPUs as collateral to secure financing-turning its tech assets into financial leverage.
Despite a recent 20% dip in stock price, CoreWeave has seen an eye-watering 214% gain year-to-date. Between explosive growth, strategic acquisitions, and top-tier tech partnerships, CoreWeave is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing players in the AI infrastructure space.
