How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

They were saying, we want explicit access to Hopper for four years or Blackwell for four years.

Odd Lots

Now they're coming and saying, well, actually, we want it for five years.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

We don't want any interruption of use.

Scaling laws are still holding.
