Nscale states it has over $103bn in total contracted value. The company says it operates a vertically integrated platform spanning power generation, liquid-cooled data centers, and large-scale GPU clusters.
Josh Payne, Founder and CEO of Nscale, said: "This marks a milestone for Nscale as we continue scaling our full-stack AI infrastructure to meet unprecedented global demand."
