The collaboration between Nscale and Microsoft functions as a landlord-tenant agreement that anchors the first phase of the Monarch Compute Campus.
Under a long-term Letter of Intent (LOI), Nscale serves as the master developer and infrastructure provider, while Microsoft has committed to leasing the vast majority of the site's initial power footprint. Microsoft will utilize this infrastructure to deploy roughly 430,000 next-generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 GPUs, relying entirely on Nscale’s off-grid, self-generated power supply to run its large-scale AI workloads.
