Jensen Huang and Wife’s Foundation Donates $108 Million in Computing Power to Fuel AI Research

Recently released documents show that the family foundation founded by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and his wife Lori is purchasing massive computing resources from provider CoreWeave, and offering them free of charge to universities and non-profit research institutions. The total value of the donation has reached 108.3 million US dollars.
The computing resources will be directly applied to cutting-edge scientific experiments and fundamental artificial intelligence research.
Dual Support in Technology and Funding
Beyond hardware computing power supply, NVIDIA stated it will deliver free engineering technical services to beneficiary institutions. Researchers can access high-performance GPU resources, alongside professional guidance from NVIDIA engineers to boost model training efficiency and tackle sophisticated technical challenges.
Closer Partnership with CoreWeave
The donation serves charitable purposes while reflecting deep commercial ties between NVIDIA and cloud firm CoreWeave.
Equity Investment: NVIDIA injected 2 billion US dollars into CoreWeave in January this year, becoming its second-largest shareholder at the time.
Capacity Guarantee: Last year, NVIDIA signed a 6.3-billion-dollar cloud capacity deal with CoreWeave, committing to purchase all unsold cloud resources.

黄仁勋夫妇基金会捐赠 1.08 亿美元算力,助力科研机构 AI 研究
一份最新披露的文件显示,英伟达(NVIDIA)首席执行官黄仁勋及其妻子洛里(Lori)创立的家族基金会,正从算力提供商 CoreWeave 购入大量计算资源,并将其免费提供给大学及其他非营利研究机构。截至目前,这笔捐赠的累计价值已达到 1.083 亿美元。

这些算力资源将直接用于支持前沿的科学实验和人工智能基础研究。

一、技术与资金的双重支持
除了提供硬件算力外,英伟达公司还表示将向部分受赠机构提供免费的工程技术服务。这意味着研究人员不仅能获得高性能的 GPU 算力,还能得到英伟达工程师的专业指导,以优化模型训练效率并解决复杂的技术难题。

二、深化与 CoreWeave 的合作关系
此次捐赠不仅是慈善行为,也反映了英伟达与云计算公司 CoreWeave 之间深厚的商业纽带:

股权投资: 今年 1 月,英伟达向 CoreWeave 投资了 20 亿美元,成为其当时第二大股东。

产能兜底: 英伟达去年与 CoreWeave 签署了价值 63 亿美元的云计算容量协议,承诺购买其任何未售出的云容量。
