Mike Mattacola, Coreweave ｜ Raise Summit 2025
- CoreWeave and Dell are actively testing the first Dell rack in a lab environment to optimize the process of receiving, testing, and deploying Blackwell infrastructure (GB200 and GB300) to customers rapidly.
- GB300 has officially entered the market as of last week, with CoreWeave and NVIDIA collaborating to launch both GB200 and GB300 while acknowledging that new launch iterations increase potential failure modes from hundreds of thousands to millions.
- Supply chain management for AI infrastructure requires planning two to three years in advance to secure GB200s, as immediate acquisition is insufficient and energy grid approval for new data centers necessitates acquiring power years ahead of construction.
- CoreWeave is mimicking NVIDIA's highly flat organizational structure with leaders managing small teams of 10 to 20 to facilitate rapid decision-making, mirroring NVIDIA's high-speed innovation model to ensure supply chain components arrive in sync for customer deployment.
- NVIDIA is engineering surrounding infrastructure fabric, including NVLink and KVCache, to support chip performance, while the speaker anticipates Intel's x86 market share dropping from 73% to the teens within a single year and predicts AI agents will function as new HR departments based on task evaluation.
