Nvidia has entered into a $6 billion agreement with Poolside, including about $1 billion in direct investments, access to the startup’s technology, and the transfer of over 100 engineers to the Nemotron project.

Notably, Nvidia is not fully acquiring Poolside — the startup will continue to operate independently.
