Coreweave Adds 1.5 Billion to U.K. AI Expansion

CoreWeave CRWV is doubling down on Britain. The U.S. AI infrastructure company said it's investing another 1.5 billion to expand its data center capacity and operations in the U.K., bringing its total commitment to 2.5 billion. The move is aimed at powering the country's fast-growing appetite for AI while keeping the focus on sustainable computing.

The announcement came during President Donald Trump's state visit, where Washington and London rolled out a $42 billion Tech Prosperity Deal. CoreWeave had already pledged 1 billion in May 2024, a push that helped deliver two new AI data centers in just eight months.

This time, CoreWeave is teaming up with Nvidia NVDA and Scottish partner DataVita. The plan: deploy Nvidia's cutting-edge Grace Blackwell Ultra GPUs, run them on renewable power, and cool them with water-saving closed-loop systems. The company also teased sovereign AI projects powered by Nvidia's newest GB300 and RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs.

Nvidia added that, together with CoreWeave, Nscale, and others, it expects up to 11 billion in fresh investment for U.K. AI factories. With 120,000 Blackwell GPUs, it would mark the largest AI infrastructure rollout in the nation's history.
