Shares of CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV) traded higher on Thursday with gains accelerating into the close. The company announced it became the first AI cloud provider to deploy NVIDIA Corp’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) new GB300 NVL72 platform.
What To Know: CoreWeave announced plans to significantly scale deployments worldwide after highlighting its first GB300 NVL72 deployment on Thursday.
The GB300 NVL72 brings an upgrade in AI reasoning performance, offering as much as a 10x boost in user responsiveness and a 50x jump in inference output compared to the previous Nvidia Hopper architecture.
CoreWeave said it worked with Dell, Switch and Vertiv to roll out the new infrastructure, which is tightly integrated with CoreWeave's Kubernetes and observability stack.
“CoreWeave is constantly working to push the boundaries of AI development further, deploying the bleeding-edge cloud capabilities required to train the next generation of AI models,” said Peter Salanki, co-founder and CTO of CoreWeave.
“We’re proud to be the first to stand up this transformative platform and help innovators prepare for the next exciting wave of AI.”
CoreWeave shares were seeing some early momentum Thursday morning, but gains accelerated in the afternoon after the company highlighted the deployment milestone. Nvidia also hit all-time highs on Thursday, climbing above $160 before pulling back slightly ahead of the close.
CoreWeave went public in March in an IPO at $40 per share. Despite stumbling a bit out of the gates, shares have soared in recent months as the rise of generative AI and large language models continues to fuel incredible demand for high-performance computing infrastructure.
CoreWeave continues to see strong interest from investors. It was one of the most searched stocks on Benzinga Pro last month as AI-related names continue to lead markets higher. CoreWeave shares closed Thursday’s shortened trading session about $22 below all-time highs of $187.
