NVIDIA and IREN Sign $3.4 Billion Deal for 5 GW AI Infrastructure
NVIDIA and IREN have announced a strategic partnership to scale next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. Under the agreement, the companies plan to deploy up to 5 GW of AI power, and have signed a five-year contract worth $3.4 billion to support NVIDIA’s internal AI workloads.
Deal Details
According to the companies' announcement, IREN will provide NVIDIA with managed AI cloud services for research and internal AI projects. This includes not only access to GPUs but also a full infrastructure solution with orchestration and cluster management in collaboration with Mirantis.
The contract will be supported by Blackwell systems with air cooling, which will be deployed for about 60 MW in IREN data centers in Childress, Texas.
Partnership to Scale AI Computing
As part of the broader partnership, NVIDIA and IREN also agreed to jointly deploy AI factories based on NVIDIA’s DSX architecture. The companies expect the Sweetwater campus in Texas to be a key site, with 2 GW of capacity.
Additionally, IREN provided NVIDIA with a five-year option to purchase up to 30 million shares of the company at $70 per share. As a result, NVIDIA may invest up to $2.1 billion, contingent upon regulatory approvals and other conditions.
CEO Statements
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated:
“AI factories are becoming foundational infrastructure for the global economy. Large-scale deployment of such systems requires deep integration across the entire stack — computing, networks, software, energy, and operations. IREN has the scale and infrastructure expertise required.”
Other IREN Projects
This new partnership is another significant contract for IREN in the AI space. In November 2025, the company announced a five-year agreement with Microsoft worth $9.7 billion to provide cloud-based AI infrastructure.
