Nebius Emerges as a Key Player in AI Infrastructure, Drawing Parallels to Amazon
Nebius, a relatively unknown data center company spun off from Russian internet conglomerate Yandex, is gaining traction in the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure market. After a quiet Nasdaq listing in October and a $700 million private placement, the company has partnered with Nvidia to equip data centers with the latest Blackwell GPU architecture.
Beyond hardware, Nebius operates across multiple AI segments, including software applications and autonomous driving. Its diversified ecosystem has drawn comparisons to Amazon's multifaceted business model, positioning it as a potential leader in the neocloud market. The company rents AI infrastructure-as-a-service, mirroring cloud giants but with a specialized focus on GPU-powered solutions.
