CoreWeave jumps on partnership with AI model developer Poolside

Neocloud company CoreWeave is surging after it announced a partnership with Poolside to provide more than 40,000 Nvidia GPUs to bolster the development of Poolside’s AI models while also serving as the anchor tenant and operational partner for its data center in Texas dubbed “Project Horizon,” where CoreWeave will deliver cloud services.

There were no financial terms provided in the press release. CoreWeave gets a customer and access to a lot of data center capacity; Poolside gets a lot of computing power and someone to run this data center.

“To compete at the frontier you need to be vertically integrated from dirt to intelligence,” said Eiso Kant, cofounder and co-CEO of Paris-based Poolside. “This partnership with CoreWeave ensures immediate access to next-generation silicon, enabling us to train multi-trillion parameter models with large scale reinforcement learning.”

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
