"In the long run, Nebius’s outright ownership of its AI infrastructure versus CoreWeave’s debt-fueled contract-collateralized “ownership” may prove to be the difference, as Nebius probably has a longer runway than CoreWeave to figure out positive, sustainable unit economics."

From a macro perspective, CoreWeave is more cyclical and would benefit more from falling interest rates whereas Nebius would be more likely to survive a stagflationary period, where interest rates stay elevated.

Really interesting Article. I am business development and sales advisor and work mostly with Startups and Early Stage (AI) Companies looking for Enterprise Customers..Those Enterprise in-house AI teams. It's early stages and most of my work is in building the Human Connections in this Ai landscape. I just upped my AI (IQ) and learned some new language. Thanks!

Great article! Kevin, I am wondering if we can translate your blog into Chinese and post it in AI community. We will highlight your name and keep the original link on the top of the translated version. Thank you.

Here is the link, Thanks you! Btw, Together.ai vs. Fireworks is also worth discussing as a similar topic about AI Cloud, if you're interested. ^_^ https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/YTP57BGjXVxWA5N2zuDECA
