Nvidia-Backed CoreWeave Eyes $35 Billion IPO Amid AI Boom

CoreWeave, a cloud computing company specializing in AI infrastructure, is preparing for a major IPO on Nasdaq under the ticker “CRWV.” The Nvidia-backed firm aims to raise up to $2.7 billion, setting a valuation exceeding $35 billion, making it one of the biggest tech listings in recent years.

Key Facts

  • 49 million shares priced between $47 and $55 each.
  • Revenue skyrocketed from $229M in 2023 to $1.9B in 2024, though net losses also climbed to $863M.
  • IPO led by Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs.
  • $11.9B deal with OpenAI, including a $350M private investment from OpenAI.
  • AI infrastructure powered by 300,000 Nvidia GPUs, supporting Meta, IBM, and Microsoft.

The Nvidia Partnership

Nvidia’s strategic backing has been crucial in CoreWeave’s rise. The firm secured $2.3B in debt financing using Nvidia GPUs as collateral and is integrating Nvidia’s latest GB200 NVL72 cloud instances, offering cutting-edge AI processing capabilities.

Market Impact

CoreWeave’s IPO could revive the tech IPO market and signal a strong investor appetite for AI-driven companies. However, economic uncertainty and shifts in AI infrastructure strategies—especially from major clients like Microsoft—add complexity to the landscape.As the AI boom continues, CoreWeave is positioning itself as a key player in next-gen cloud computing, directly competing with Amazon and Google.

Google Says AI Has Accelerated Chrome Security Patching To Record Levels

Google said its internal AI tools helped identify and fix more security vulnerabilities in the last two Chrome releases than the company patched across the previous two years combined.

In a post published Thursday on its security blog, Google said it fixed 1,072 security bugs in Chrome versions 149 and 150, both released in June. That compares with 1,036 vulnerabilities fixed across the previous 23 Chrome releases.

Google Expands AI Use In Security

Google outlined its approach in a white paper describing how it uses AI models to identify vulnerabilities and accelerate remediation. The report includes a chart showing a sharp increase in the number of bugs fixed in recent Chrome releases.

The company refers to each Chrome release as a “milestone.” Chrome version 126 was released in June 2024, while versions 149 and 150 shipped last month.

Company Says AI Speeds Vulnerability Detection

Doug Turner, Chrome’s director of engineering, said large language models have “fundamentally shifted the economics of cybersecurity” by automating vulnerability discovery.

“By applying models like Gemini, we are preemptively fixing vulnerabilities, outpacing our adversaries and making Chrome safer with every update,” Turner said.

Microsoft Also Reports More Security Fixes

Google is not the only technology company reporting higher numbers of security patches alongside broader AI adoption. Earlier this month, Microsoft said it fixed a record 570 vulnerabilities during its monthly Patch Tuesday release and cited its use of AI as one factor behind the increase.

Apple has not reported a comparable increase. According to an independent vulnerability tracker, the company has fixed 482 security flaws in 2026 so far, a total broadly in line with previous years.
