Nvidia announced a deal on Monday evening involving Apollo, Blackstone, Blackrock, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR, among others. The firms are expected to raise «at least 500 billion dollar» in long-term financing from their clients to fund the expansion of AI infrastructure.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sees the initiative as an important next step in the build-out of artificial intelligence. «Computing capacity is becoming an asset class of its own,» Huang told CNBC, adding that chips themselves are «an investable asset.»
