Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

And it's important to keep in mind

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

We can run any type of silicon on our platform.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

We are entirely customer-led in what we build.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

We don't go commit to CapEx and speculatively hope people come and use infrastructure.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

We wait until a client says, we want you to go do this specific build.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

Here's what we want it to look like.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

And then we go commit to that CapEx.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

It's more like a success-based CapEx approach.

Odd Lots

And the client isn't asking for anything but NVIDIA infrastructure.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

And I think a large contributor to that is they built this incredible ecosystem around their chipset.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

They have been dedicated to that for, I think, over 15 years at this point through the CUDA architecture.

Odd Lots

And NVIDIA, from what we hear from our clients,

Odd Lots

that platform just remains the most efficient the most scalable the most reliable uh set of infrastructure that is in the market right so i i think others there's always been i mean if you think over the past few years right there's always been talk like what is it but yeah this other silicon and these other chips and at the end of the day like people are still using

Odd Lots

NVIDIA infrastructure, they're committing to NVIDIA infrastructure for five plus year contracts in these billion, multi-billion dollar commitments because they know that that is going to be a critical part of how they scale their business.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

We really don't see demands on a material basis for anything but that NVIDIA compute.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

And that's what we are building today.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

So I believe in our last quarterly report, our CEO, Mike, qualified that.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

Inference workloads represent well in excess of 50% of infrastructure utilization on our platform.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

It's the exact same infrastructure that you use for training as well.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

Going back to my comment of it's very fungible between those different types of workloads.
