He identifies Nebius as the sponsor and also promotes its AI Studio service. Nebius’s September 2025 filing says the approximately $17.4 billion contract value through 2031 was subject to deployment and availability conditions; additional services could raise it to about $19.4 billion.

A GPU infrastructure agreement

Berman introduces the Microsoft–Nebius deal and identifies Nebius as the video’s sponsor. The contract value is subject to deployment and availability conditions.

Nebius’s 2025 Microsoft announcement
FOLIE 1 / 2Nebius’s 2025 Microsoft announcementThe company announcement introduces the AI infrastructure agreement.

Microsoft has signed an agreement with Nebius, the sponsor of this video, for AI infrastructure. I describe it as a $17.4 billion, five-year deal. [Nebius’s September 2025 filing](https://assets.nebius.com/assets/86625727-9e66-46c1-af79-c27d57434e3c/25-25580-1_Nebius%2520Group%2520N.V._6-K.pdf%3Fcache-buster%3D2025-09-08T21%3A23%3A09.625Z) states that this value through 2031 was subject to GPU service deployment and availability; additional purchases could increase it to about $19.4 billion.

AI workloads and Nebius services

He discusses training and inference needs, then promotes Nebius AI Studio. The short does not independently assess the service.

Microsoft is building its own models, which require substantial computing capacity for pre-training, post-training, and inference. I describe Nebius as a source of capacity alongside Azure. The public agreement provides for dedicated GPU infrastructure, but the video does not specify which particular Microsoft models or workloads will use it.

Nebius AI Studio model listing
FOLIE 2 / 2Nebius AI Studio model listingThe sponsored segment shows a historical model listing with service and pricing information.

I also promote Nebius AI Studio for people building with open models, including inference and fine-tuning. Nebius sponsors this segment, so the recommendation is promotional rather than an independent comparison of services. The video mentions a $20 credit offer from the time; its availability and terms may change.
