MEDIA: THE AI CLOUD INCOME SHARE AGREEMENT HAS A $36 BILLION COMMITMENT FOR THE SUSPENSION OF WEIDA

ON 28 AUGUST, ACCORDING TO SOURCES QUOTED BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, NVDA.O SUSPENDED A CREDIT SUPPORT AGREEMENT FOR THE AI CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDER IN EXCHANGE FOR A SHARE OF INCOME, ALTHOUGH LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE PLAN WAS ANNOUNCED IN JULY. SOME UK EMPLOYEES ARE CONCERNED THAT THE SCHEME MAY TRIGGER ANTIMONOPOLY REVIEWS, ESPECIALLY TO WHAT EXTENT COMPANIES CAN DECIDE HOW THEIR CLIENTS CONDUCT THEIR BUSINESS. IT IS CALLED THE “AI CALCULATOR PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMME” AND IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDERS WITH SECURE INCOME AND ACCESS TO FINANCING BY RENTING THEIR GPUS IF THEY CANNOT FIND OTHER CUSTOMERS. THIS WEEK, YING WEIDA DISCLOSED THAT SUCH AGREEMENTS, WHICH USUALLY LAST SIX YEARS, INVOLVED $36 BILLION IN COMMITMENTS. UNDER THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT, A CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDER WOULD RECEIVE 50 PER CENT OF THE EXCESS WHEN ITS INCOME EXCEEDED THE BASIC THRESHOLD FOR COVERING THE COSTS OF CHIP DEPRECIATION, DATA CENTRES AND PERSONNEL. IN THE FUTURE, THE PLAN MAY BE ADJUSTED OR INCORPORATED INTO OTHER PROJECTS。
