CoreWeave, Inc. — AI supply-chain exposure
The model reads CoreWeave, Inc. primarily as a integrator in Infrastructure. Its strongest structural lever is Inference serving (system bottleneck #4), which it produces or supplies — genuine pricing power. Its largest modeled sensitivity is a shock at Liquid cooling (constraint β 27).

CoreWeave is the archetypal neocloud: a GPU-specialised cloud that builds and operates large clusters of NVIDIA accelerators and leases that capacity to model developers, enterprises and even the hyperscalers themselves. It occupies the integrator seat in the chain, taking raw GPUs and assembling them into high-density racks, scale-up fabric and inference-serving capacity — an AI factory whose only product is compute.
Its real structural advantage is early, privileged access to the newest NVIDIA silicon and a contracted backlog that stretches years out, giving it demand visibility most infrastructure businesses never have. That backlog is also the tell in the model's placement: CoreWeave converts scarce accelerator allocation into committed, long-dated revenue, which is why it sits close to the centre despite owning none of the underlying technology. The flip side is concentration — it is heavily tied to one chip supplier and to a handful of very large customers, so its fortunes track the accelerator cycle tightly.
