The market is also demonstrating the durability of NVIDIA compute economics.
Key facts
- One-year H100 rental pricing rose from about $1.70 per GPU-hour in October 2025 to about $2.35 per GPU-hour in March 2026
- The team announced partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to establish independent financing platforms designed to mobilize over $500 billion of third-party
- NVIDIA introduced the Ampere-based A100 in 2020, and six years later, it remains in active commercial use for AI training, fine-tuning, inference and high-performance computing
- In some cases, NVIDIA may provide a residual-value support mechanism for up to 25% of an opportunity, assessed carefully on a project-by-project basis
Summary
The team announced partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to establish independent financing platforms designed to mobilize over $500 billion of third-party capital to support the buildout of AI infrastructure over time. AI has reached an inflection point. NVIDIA DSX AI factories can run the world’s broadest range of AI models, modalities and algorithms, language, vision, speech, biology, physical AI and robotics. It is also built on a globally adopted architecture used across every major cloud, and by systems makers and enterprises around the world. CUDA makes the factory better over time.
