Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) launched DGX Cloud Lepton, a marketplace that connects developers to idle GPU capacity from providers like CoreWeave, Lambda, Crusoe and SoftBank.

The platform gives users more choice by skipping hyperscalers like AWS and Azure. Developers can compare prices and availability directly, with Nvidia staying out of the selection process.

The move targets GPU shortages that have delayed AI projects. CEO Jensen Huang recently said demand remains strong as AI agents grow alongside human workers.

This shift brings Nvidia closer to end users — and deeper into the AI infrastructure game.
