AI infrastructure company General Compute has secured a credit facility of up to $400 million from Upper90 Capital Management, using SambaNova SN50 inference ASICs as collateral instead of Nvidia GPUs. According to Techub, citing CryptoBriefing, the deal marks the first time the chip-backed lending market has accepted non-Nvidia chips as collateral. General Compute has also placed a $300 million order for the chips to build an autonomous AI agent platform. The financing points to stronger debt-market confidence in the recurring revenue potential tied to inference workloads, rather than relying on traditional GPU-backed structures.
