On Friday, it [announced](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cloverleaf-infrastructure-forms-strategic-partnership-with-nvidia-to-accelerate-data-center-infrastructure-development-302857329.html) a partnership with Cloverleaf Infrastructure, a company that lays the groundwork for data centers.\n\nCloverleaf was founded in 2024 and [raised $300 million](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cloverleaf-infrastructure-raises-300-million-from-ngp-and-sandbrook-capital-302198634.html) that year.

Nvidia is increasingly playing a more direct role in financing and developing the AI data centers that turn around and buy its AI systems.
