Nebius Group shares were up about 10% ahead of the Wall Street opening bell, after Nvidia announced a $2bn investment in the company, which specializes in cloud services for artificial intelligence. Both companies said they would work together on deploying AI infrastructure, managing compute fleets, inference systems and the design of AI factories. Nvidia said the investment reflects its confidence in Nebius' technical capabilities and expertise.
According to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Nebius is developing a cloud designed for the era of autonomous agents, integrating the entire technology stack-from hardware to software-around the group's accelerated computing technologies.
