Australian AI-infrastructure company Firmus Technologies signed a strategic partnership with Nvidia to give emerging AI firms more cost-effective access to GPUs, the companies told Reuters. Under the deal, Firmus buys Nvidia infrastructure and sells Nvidia-powered cloud services to AI Native customers, with Nvidia earning both product revenue and a share of cloud revenue, an arrangement that deepens Nvidia's existing position as a Firmus investor.
