Nvidia is strategically moving to lessen its reliance on major cloud providers, commonly known as ´hyperscalers,´ by pioneering new partnerships in the global Artificial Intelligence sector. This shift includes deals with national governments and emerging corporate players, positioning Nvidia to serve a broader customer base outside of its traditional relationships with tech giants such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, which have long dominated its data center revenue streams.
The company recently secured a multibillion-dollar U.S. chip agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Humain and engaged in projects with the United Arab Emirates to establish vast data centers, underscoring a deliberate focus on ´sovereign Artificial Intelligence´ infrastructure in regions like the Middle East. These initiatives highlight Nvidia’s intent to capitalize on national interests in Artificial Intelligence and facilitate the construction of large-scale, local infrastructure for governmental and corporate clients. Simultaneously, Nvidia is supplying burgeoning competitors to the hyperscalers, such as CoreWeave, Nebius, Crusoe, and Lambda, further accelerating decentralization in the Artificial Intelligence cloud ecosystem.
Nvidia’s recent rollout of its Blackwell processor platform through CoreWeave, and growing collaborations with established IT vendors like Cisco, Dell, and HP, illustrate a push to win enterprise customers that maintain their own IT operations. According to CEO Jensen Huang and senior executives, Nvidia is increasingly confident in the growth opportunity outside of traditional cloud partners. Given its investment in ´embodied intelligence´—Artificial Intelligence that perceives, reasons, and acts in real-world environments—the company is targeting sectors like manufacturing, biotechnology, and transportation. Nvidia executives reiterated at a Singapore technology conference that engaging with use cases in robotics, healthcare, and autonomous vehicles is key for meaningful Artificial Intelligence adoption. These moves, paired with further enterprise and government alliances, reflect Nvidia’s ambition to define the next era of Artificial Intelligence by serving a broader swathe of global industries and customers.
