NVIDIA is negotiating a potential hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars investment in Australian AI-cloud provider Firmus, which withdrew its IPO plans.

The potential investment remains under negotiation. Telegram reports citing The Information say NVIDIA is discussing an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in Firmus, an Australian AI-cloud provider. The sources do not describe a signed agreement or completed funding round.

Firmus had withdrawn its proposed public listing earlier in October. This is a private AI-cloud financing story, not a completed IPO or acquisition. The supplied reports do not disclose a proposed valuation, ownership percentage, financing instrument, conversion terms, collateral, or closing conditions.

The reporting places the talks within NVIDIA’s wider customer-financing activity. A summary of The Information’s analysis cites more than $170 billion in commitments involving neocloud providers and other major customers, including credit guarantees supporting debt financing. That broader figure is not the size of the proposed Firmus investment, and no Firmus-specific guarantee is established in the supplied material.
