Intrator continued, stating that the AI sector is experiencing a moment of transition and CoreWeave is playing a key role by offering clients “the most differentiated” AI infrastructure.

This year, the AI infrastructure provider has raised billions in debt and equity funding.

Early in August 2023, CoreWeave announced a $2.3bn debt financing facility, which was led by Magnetar Capital and funds managed by Blackstone Tactical Opportunities.

Along with funds and accounts administered by BlackRock, PIMCO, and Carlyle, the asset management firms Coatue and DigitalBridge Credit also contributed to the debt funding.

At the time, CoreWeave said it will use the funding to expand its workforce, build new data centres, and enhance its computing capabilities.

Before the debt funding, CoreWeave raised $421m Series B funding round in two tranches, both led by Magnetar Capital.

In July 2023, the technology vendor opened a $1.6bn data centre facility in Plano, Texas.
