What Nebius does
Nebius (Nasdaq: NBIS) is an AI cloud infrastructure company that operates a full-stack platform for AI developers and enterprises, spanning high-performance GPU clusters, a proprietary cloud platform, and software/tools for training and production inference. The company positions its “Nebius AI Cloud” as production infrastructure for end-to-end ML lifecycle needs, and its “Nebius Token Factory” as the inference platform for running models at scale. Nebius also markets platform features aimed at lowering operational friction for AI teams (for example, integrations for workload orchestration frameworks such as SkyPilot, and an AI agent (“Nebius Echo”) embedded in the console for natural-language control and operations). In parallel to building and operating its own infrastructure footprint, Nebius has described an “asset-light” partnership model in which infrastructure partners finance and operate data centers while Nebius supplies its systems architecture, software stack, and go-to-market to bring capacity to customers.
Nebius serves customers that include AI-native startups and larger enterprises (including developers and organizations building agents and production AI workloads), with additional go-to-market and ecosystem programs for builders (such as a startup/builder program and training via Nebius Academy). Strategically, the company is in the middle of scaling capacity globally across the US and Europe while securing non-dilutive and equity financing to support ongoing buildout; recent financing and partnerships include a strategic relationship with NVIDIA and an inaugural secured debt facility, as well as additional capital-market actions reflected in recent SEC reporting.
