Original: Report: Amazon to offload $8B worth of AI chips, lease them back
Amazon is reportedly planning to sell roughly $8 billion worth of AI chips and lease them back, according to a new report. The sale-and-leaseback arrangement would let the company free up capital while retaining use of the hardware for its cloud and AI workloads. The move comes amid heavy AI infrastructure spending across the tech industry, and observers are watching how hyperscalers finance their rapidly expanding data center investments.
Why now: Amid intense scrutiny of AI infrastructure spending, a major hyperscaler using sale-leaseback financing is notable news.
