What Nvidia AI Clouds Are

Nvidia describes a growing ecosystem of purpose-built clouds.

›The clouds are co-designed with Nvidia's full-stack AI infrastructure.
›They combine Nvidia accelerated computing, networking and AI software.
›They support training, fine-tuning, inference, agentic AI, physical AI and sovereign AI.

Nvidia says the clouds serve the token demand behind today's most popular AI applications. Specific configurations vary by partner and workload, and partners choose Nvidia for what the company calls the best economics, including lowest token cost and best throughput per watt.

Global Reach

The ecosystem spans nearly every geography.

›Regional growth is accelerating across Southeast Asia, Australia and the Americas.
›The ecosystem now reaches six continents.
›Recent additions include Cassava in Africa and Claro in South America.

Nvidia says the clouds support regional and sovereign AI capacity for frontier model builders, enterprises, startups, software providers and national AI programs, bringing AI factories closer to where data, developers, users and industries are.

The Partner Network

A broad set of providers are building AI factories.

›Partners including CoreWeave, Firmus, IREN, Nebius and Nscale are expanding AI infrastructure.
›Partners including Firebird, GMI Cloud, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, Lambda, Naver Cloud, Sharon AI, Yotta and YTL serve regional markets.
›Providers span frontier AI, enterprise AI, telecommunications, developer clouds and national AI programs.

These partners support emerging AI companies, national AI initiatives, financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, education, healthcare and developer ecosystems across regions.

Sovereign and Regulated Use

Regional clouds address local requirements.

›Regional AI clouds can support sovereign controls and local compliance requirements.
›They can reduce friction in accessing accelerated infrastructure.
›They serve AI agents, enterprise copilots and digital workers that must run close to users and data.

Nvidia positions the regional clouds for governments and regulated industries that need local compliance, as well as developers and enterprises that need infrastructure near their users.

Firmus Expansion

Firmus is growing its footprint across Australia and Asia-Pacific.

›Firmus is expanding across South Australia and Southeast Asia.
›Project Southgate covers Tasmania, Melbourne, South Australia and New South Wales.
›The build emphasizes renewable power, advanced cooling and modular infrastructure.

Firmus Technologies is building energy-efficient infrastructure to support growing demand for large-scale training, inference and agentic AI workloads, with a focus on bringing capacity online faster through modular design.
