CoreWeave isn’t OpenAI or Nvidia, but it’s powering both.

We unpack how this lesser-known company became essential to the AI ecosystem, including:

  • What CoreWeave actually does and why it matters
  • How $55B in backlog signals explosive demand
  • Why data centers, not apps, may define the next AI wave
  • What an “AI capex bubble” could look like

A fast, insightful breakdown of the infrastructure race behind AI’s biggest players.
