Jensen Huang says neocloud demand is 'off the charts' as CoreWeave stock continues to slide (www.businessinsider.com)

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reported soaring demand for AI cloud infrastructure, highlighting the significant growth within the neocloud sector despite concerns from investors regarding the industry's financial stability. Speaking on CNBC, Huang affirmed that the capabilities of neoclouds, such as CoreWeave, are remarkable, even as the company faces intense scrutiny over its financial practices, particularly its substantial debt of $35.6 billion. Analysts have warned about CoreWeave's stock, which has plummeted by 50% in six months, contributing to worries about a potential bubble fueled by aggressive borrowing to build data centers and secure chips. Huang emphasized that the AI sector's main challenge lies in access to capital rather than demand, asserting that strong demand across various AI applications is limiting available investment resources. He also noted Nvidia's strategy to position its computing hardware as a financeable asset, which could increase lending opportunities for neocloud companies. Huang remains optimistic about the future, indicating a belief that financial challenges will be resolved as the AI market continues to grow.
