Revenue model

1. GPU compute (on-demand and preemptible): Consumption-based revenue from per-GPU-hour billing on NVIDIA H100, H200, B200, B300, GB300, L40S and RTX PRO 6000 instances; priced per-second with no long-term commitment required.
2. Reserved/committed capacity: Multi-year reserved capacity with up to ~35% discount versus on-demand pricing, used by enterprises and AI labs needing predictable GPU access.
3. Long-term hyperscale capacity contracts: Multi-year dedicated AI infrastructure contracts with prepayment, including a Microsoft contract through 2031 valued at approximately $17.4B and a Meta contract valued up to approximately $27B over five years.
4. Managed inference (Token Factory): API-based managed inference billed per token for open-weight and custom LLMs running on Nebius GPU infrastructure.
5. Storage and managed cloud services: Recurring revenue from Object Storage ($0.0147–$0.1100/GiB), Shared Filesystem ($0.0800/GiB-month), Managed Kubernetes, KMS, MLflow, and related cloud services.
6. Professional services and customer support: Tiered 24/7 support and architecture services bundled with enterprise compute contracts.

Core offering

Nebius operates a vertically integrated AI cloud platform (Nebius AI Cloud) that provides on-demand and reserved NVIDIA GPU compute (H100, H200, B200, B300, GB300, RTX PRO 6000) on custom hardware with non-virtualized GPUs and InfiniBand, together with managed Kubernetes, Soperator (Slurm on Kubernetes) orchestration, S3-compatible Object Storage, NVMe Shared Filesystem, Token Factory managed inference, ModelOps (managed MLflow), KMS, and Workload Identity Federation. It sells GPU-hours per-second, reserved capacity contracts, multi-year hyperscale deals (Microsoft, Meta), and managed inference APIs to AI developers, startups, enterprises and hyperscalers.

Product overview

Nebius operates a single unified AI platform called Nebius AI Cloud, organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture rather than a single monolithic product. The core platform provides Nebius Compute (NVIDIA Blackwell/Blackwell Ultra/Hopper GPUs), Networking (virtual networks, subnets, NAT), and AI Storage (object, shared filesystem, block, plus a WEKA-integrated high-performance tier). On top of this foundation, Nebius sells a portfolio of integrated modules and products: Token Factory for managed inference of foundation, reasoning, and vision-language models via an OpenAI-compatible API; Tavily by Nebius for agentic web search; Tendem (Toloka x Nebius) for human-in-the-loop validation exposed as an MCP server; AI Orchestration (Soperator managed Slurm, SkyPilot, Ray, Anyscale) for workload scheduling; Serverless AI (Jobs, Endpoints, DevPods) for serverless GPU workloads; DataOps (managed PostgreSQL) and ModelOps (managed MLflow) for data and ML lifecycle; and the Agents Blueprint reference architecture plus the Physical AI Workbench and NVIDIA OSMO Managed by Nebius for AI agents and Physical AI respectively. Avride (autonomous vehicles subsidiary), the Builder Program, and Nebius Academy are part of the broader Nebius offering but are customer-facing programs rather than cloud modules.

• Vultr: Cloud provider offering GPU instances (including H100/L40S), bare metal, and object storage with per-hour pricing — competes in the same self-serve, per-second-billed AI cloud segment.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Web Services (AWS): Largest hyperscale cloud with EC2 GPU instances (P5/H100, P5e/H200, Blackwell-based), SageMaker, Bedrock, and Bedrock Marketplace — broad incumbent that bundles AI compute with networking, identity, and enterprise procurement that Nebius challenges on TCO.
• Microsoft Azure: Hyperscale cloud with Azure ND H100/H200/B200 VMs, Azure AI Foundry, and global enterprise relationships — simultaneously a customer of Nebius and a competitor for the same AI workload budgets.
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP): Hyperscale cloud offering A3 (H100) and A4 (Blackwell) GPU instances, Vertex AI, and TPU alternatives — competes for both AI training capacity and managed inference workloads with a deep, integrated software stack.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI): Hyperscale cloud with OCI Cluster Networking and H100/Blackwell GPU bare-metal instances, often used for large AI training clusters — competes directly for multi-gigawatt AI training contracts.

Emerging players
