Perplexity Locks In CoreWeave Deal for Nvidia Blackwell Power
Perplexity signs multiyear CoreWeave deal for dedicated Nvidia Grace Blackwell clusters, sending CRWV stock up 5%+.
Perplexity just inked a multiyear agreement with CoreWeave to tap dedicated computing clusters built on Nvidia's Grace Blackwell chips. The deal is squarely aimed at powering AI inference — the heavy lifting behind Perplexity's next generation of services.
CoreWeave, the AI-focused cloud computing company, shared the news first with Axios. Wall Street noticed. CRWV stock jumped more than 5% in pre-market trading on the announcement.
The partnership gives Perplexity serious dedicated GPU firepower without building its own infrastructure from scratch. For CoreWeave, it's another high-profile customer locked into a long-term commitment — exactly the kind of deal that reassures investors about sustained demand for AI compute.
Grace Blackwell represents Nvidia's latest architecture designed specifically for the inference workloads that AI companies are now scaling aggressively.
