IBM signs $240 million deal to run NVIDIA HGX B300 on IBM Cloud
The agreement pairs NVIDIA HGX B300 systems with IBM Cloud to scale open-source AI inference using NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking.
IBM has announced a multi-year $240 million agreement with Together AI to deploy a large cluster of NVIDIA HGX B300 systems on IBM Cloud, with the effort focused on scaling open-source AI model inference.
The deal also centers on using NVIDIA’s Spectrum-X Ethernet networking as part of the infrastructure work, signaling IBM’s push to expand enterprise AI capabilities through major partners.
The announcement comes days after IBM joined OpenAI’s elite partner tier, embedding frontier models including GPT-5.6 and Codex into IBM Consulting Advantage and deploying specialized engineering units for enterprise AI workflows and cyber defense, according to Yahoo Finance.
The article contrasts the two companies’ recent financial performance, noting IBM reported $17.2 billion in revenue for its second quarter of 2026 and trimmed full-year revenue growth guidance to 4-5%, while NVIDIA’s first quarter of fiscal 2027 showed revenue up 85% to a record $81.6 billion, helped by $75.2 billion in Data Center revenue.
