Growth of GPU-as-a-Service: The demand for GPU-as-a-service is rapidly increasing across various sectors, with expectations for robust growth in the coming years, particularly among model builders and application providers.
Core Weave's Position: Core Weave, while experiencing significant business growth and excelling in raw computing power, is currently in a hybrid model relying on third-party data center operators, which poses risks of losing capacity to competitors.
Core Scientific's Strengths: Core Scientific operates at the opposite end of the spectrum, focusing on AI-capable infrastructure and offering tools for managing cloud-based services, although it lacks a developer platform compared to its competitors.
Nebius Group's Advantages: Nebius Group stands out as a top choice for GPU-as-a-service investment in 2026, with no Bitcoin exposure and a strong position in the EU market, expected to see substantial revenue growth driven by partnerships with hyperscalers.
