DGX Cloud Lepton: Nvidia’s New GPU Compute Marketplace

Nvidia is rolling out DGX Cloud Lepton, a platform that connects AI developers with GPU access available through various cloud providers. Nvidia calls it “a compute marketplace” that offers tens of thousands of GPUs through a global network that features Nvidia Cloud Partners (NCPs). Among them: CoreWeave, Crusoe, Firmus, Foxconn, GMI Cloud, Lambda, Nebius, Nscale, Softbank Corp. and Yotta Data Services — offering Nvidia Blackwell and other architecture GPUs. Developers can tap into GPU compute capacity in specific regions for both on-demand and long-term computing, Nvidia says, adding that it expects leading cloud computing providers to eventually sign on.

Nvidia, Foxconn Plan to Build an AI Supercomputer in Taiwan

Nvidia is joining forces with Foxconn to build Taiwan’s first supercomputer. Foxconn, the world’s largest contract manufacturer of electronics, will implement the system through its subsidiary Big Innovation Company, which specializes in advanced tech solutions for enterprise. The supercomputer will leverage 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, providing “orders-of-magnitude faster performance, compared with previous-generation systems,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in his Computex keynote. Huang also announced a new initiative that will let companies build semi-custom chips and talked-up desktop supercomputers in the works with Acer and Asus.
