QumulusAI signs $18 million, two-year take-or-pay Blackwell agreement
QumulusAI secured a two-year, $18 million take-or-pay agreement to supply NVIDIA Blackwell B300 nodes to a global GPU cloud marketplace, adding to its $124 million inference pipeline. The company will deploy capacity from its U.S. data centers, supported by a recent purchase of 1,632 Blackwell B300 GPUs and 192 RTX PRO 6000 GPUs.

QumulusAI, a neocloud infrastructure provider purpose-built for the AI computing era, has signed a two-year, take-or-pay agreement valued at more than $18 million to supply NVIDIA Blackwell B300 nodes to a GPU cloud marketplace used by AI teams across more than 100 regions worldwide. The contract makes QumulusAI a core Blackwell supplier to the customer, solidifying its position in the AI infrastructure market. Capacity under the agreement will be served from QumulusAI's active U.S. data center footprint, with initial deployments expected to come online this summer.
The company utilizes a demand-led deployment model to place capacity into available pockets of power across a distributed network of colocation sites. This approach enables QumulusAI to bring GPU capacity online in months rather than years. The new agreement adds a two-year, take-or-pay commitment to the company's book of business, complementing its existing contracted and near-term pipeline which includes more than $124 million in three-year inference agreements announced earlier this year.
"Our customers are building the AI economy, and they choose their suppliers carefully," said Mike Maniscalco, CEO of QumulusAI. "A two-year commitment for our Blackwell capacity says it plainly. The demand is real, and we are here to deliver." Maniscalco previously emphasized that meeting AI demand is a test of access, speed, and flexibility, noting the company's ability to source across multiple OEM partners such as Supermicro and Lenovo.
To support this and other agreements, QumulusAI has expanded its hardware inventory significantly. The company recently purchased 1,632 NVIDIA Blackwell B300 GPUs, delivered across 204 NVIDIA HGX B300 systems, marking one of its largest single capacity expansions. The purchase was funded primarily through financing arrangements with Technology Finance Corporation and USD.ai. Additionally, the order included 192 NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs to provide customers with workload-matched options spanning training, inference, and visualization.
This expansion reflects a period of rapid growth for QumulusAI. The company's deployed GPU fleet has expanded by more than 450% from June 2025 to June 2026. By converting signed, multiyear customer demand into deployed compute, QumulusAI aims to address the widening gap between AI infrastructure demand and supply.
