Stocktwits users commended the new contract.

CoreWeave had previously disclosed contracts with OpenAI worth $11.9 billion in March and an additional $4 billion in May, totaling approximately $16.9 billion.

CoreWeave, which brands itself as an "AI Hyperscaler," continues to gain traction as a key infrastructure partner for organizations operating at the frontier of artificial intelligence. 

The OpenAI contract follows a string of major initiatives from CoreWeave aimed at bolstering its AI leadership. Earlier this month, the company committed £1.5 billion ($1.75 billion) to advancing AI technology in the U.K. Additionally, it launched CoreWeave Ventures, a new investment arm targeting startups that build foundational AI technologies.

CoreWeave has also expanded its technical capabilities with the acquisitions of OpenPipe and Weights & Biases, integrating tools that enhance AI model development, monitoring, and deployment.

CoreWeave stock has gained 243% so far since its listing in March.
