- CoreWeave says it is targeting insurers' "unlimited" capital to fund the tens of billions it is spending on chips, with co-founder framing the push as a hunt for cheaper financing.
- The Nvidia-backed AI cloud provider is seeking loans backed by insurers' vast capital pools, moving beyond its traditional mix of private credit and equity backers.
Why it matters: CoreWeave needs tens of billions for chip purchases and has publicly cast insurer balance sheets — pools of patient, long-duration capital — as a cheaper funding source than its existing debt stack. That signals the AI-cloud capex cycle is now actively hunting for the lowest-cost dollar available, not just the fastest one.
