The company rolled it out in July to help those firms pay for its in-demand chips, but The Wall Street Journal reports that employee antitrust concerns and partner pushback have now slowed parts of the plan.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Journal says Nvidia set up the program to help smaller cloud providers finance its sought-after hardware by offering credit support for Nvidia chips in exchange for a <strong>share of the revenue<\/strong> generated from rented computing capacity. Some of the proposed six-year deals reportedly would&#8217;ve let Nvidia take as much as 50% of partner revenue once certain thresholds were crossed. That raised concerns that Nvidia could end up with too much influence over customers, chip allocation, and even the day-to-day operations of its partners.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Wall Street Journal also reports that the program had already secured <strong>about $36 billion<\/strong> in commitments. Even so, the model started to blur the line between supplier, financier, and business partner.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Critics see circular financing. Supporters see a practical way to ease the bottlenecks that have slowed cloud buildouts. News of the pause briefly weighed on <strong>Nvidia shares<\/strong>, along with some neocloud stocks.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you follow Nvidia\u2019s broader partner strategy, this deserves a close look. The company seems to be moving more carefully as <strong>scrutiny from regulators<\/strong> and partners keeps building.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can read the full report at The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nvidia has put parts of its new cloud financing program for smaller cloud providers on hold.
