Nvidia says it’s raising some prices more than 15%

Nvidia is raising prices for servers containing its AI chips by more than 15%, according to Bloomberg. The price hikes are being driven by soaring memory costs, which are putting pressure on the AI buildout. The company is also expanding into AI development, investing $6 billion to license technology from startup Poolside to build an open-weight model.

This move puts Nvidia in direct competition with other major players in the AI industry, including Chinese leaders DeepSeek and Moonshot, as well as US companies OpenAI and Anthropic. The price increases come as frontier AI companies face growing pressure from open models, with some US customers of Anthropic's strongest models opting for cheaper alternatives.
