Nebius Group is a neocloud - a cloud provider built specifically to rent out AI compute rather than general-purpose servers. It buys accelerators and wraps them in the power, cooling, high-speed networking and managed software that turn a pile of chips into usable training and inference capacity, operating owned and leased data centres across Europe and North America. In the value chain it sits as a producer of AI-factory capacity: it designs no silicon, but it integrates GPUs, scale-up fabric and grid power into finished clusters that model developers can rent by the hour.

Its structural hook is that it packages the two scarcest inputs in the build-out - accelerators and the power to run them - and sells them on long-dated contracts, recently anchoring capacity to a large hyperscaler. That is why the model places it near the centre: a neocloud's leverage comes from securing GPU allocation and grid connections ahead of demand, then locking customers into multi-year commitments. The risk mirrors the reward, since it carries the capital and utilisation exposure of the factories it builds.
