Neocloud firms surge on AI boom but profitability tested despite GPU demand

Neocloud providers that rent out GPUs for AI training and inference have surged, but concerns are growing over high costs and heavy debt. Gartner expects more than 80 percent could stop operating independently by 2030 due to cost pressure and lack of differentiated business models. Companies such as CoreWeave and Nebius face large depreciation charges, even as demand remains strong and long-term contracts extend into 2028 and beyond.
