In 2023, NVIDIA and cloud computing pioneer CoreWeave unveiled a landmark collaboration dubbed the "Osprey Project." This ambitious initiative sees NVIDIA not only investing a substantial $1.3 billion in CoreWeave over a four-year period but also leasing its advanced chips to the company. This strategic move elevates CoreWeave to the status of NVIDIA's second-largest customer, trailing closely behind Microsoft. Intriguingly, this pivotal detail was omitted from CoreWeave's IPO prospectus released last week.
