Nvidia partners with data center developer Cloverleaf

英伟达与数据中心开发商 Cloverleaf 达成合作

Nvidia is doing everything it can to keep fueling the AI buildout that has underpinned its own good fortunes. On Friday, it announced a partnership with Cloverleaf Infrastructure, a company that lays the groundwork for data centers. 英伟达正竭尽全力推动人工智能基础设施的建设，这也是其自身业绩增长的基石。周五，英伟达宣布与数据中心基础设施开发商 Cloverleaf Infrastructure 达成合作。

Cloverleaf was founded in 2024 and raised $300 million that year. It acts as a kind of middleman between utility companies and data centers, providing power sources and other kinds of pivotal infrastructure for site development. Cloverleaf 成立于 2024 年，同年筹集了 3 亿美元资金。该公司在公用事业公司与数据中心之间充当“中间人”，为站点开发提供电力来源及其他关键基础设施。

While the companies didn’t disclose terms, the Wall Street Journal reports that Nvidia’s investment in Cloverleaf will likely add up to several hundred million dollars. Reuters reports that the chipmaker now owns a minority stake in the company. TechCrunch reached out to Nvidia for more information. 虽然双方未披露具体条款，但据《华尔街日报》报道，英伟达对 Cloverleaf 的投资额可能高达数亿美元。路透社报道称，这家芯片制造商目前持有该公司少数股权。TechCrunch 已联系英伟达以获取更多信息。

The deal is part of Nvidia’s ongoing push to use its immense profits to keep the AI flywheel spinning. Nvidia is increasingly playing a more direct role in financing and developing the AI data centers that turn around and buy its AI systems. 这笔交易是英伟达持续利用其巨额利润推动人工智能飞轮运转的举措之一。英伟达正越来越多地直接参与人工智能数据中心的融资与开发，而这些数据中心正是其人工智能系统的主要买家。

Earlier this week, the company also announced that it would invest $1.5 billion into SB Energy, an OpenAI-linked data center project based in Ohio. 本周早些时候，英伟达还宣布将向位于俄亥俄州的 SB Energy 投资 15 亿美元，这是一个与 OpenAI 相关联的数据中心项目。
