The AI developer reportedly entered a lease for computing capacity from Rum Group's upcoming data center in Georgia over a 6 year period. This $13.7 billion contract focuses on large scale Nvidia GPU rentals to expand the startup's processing infrastructure, despite the company's previous public calls to slow the development of artificial intelligence.

Rum Group maintains indirect ties to President Trump through its connection to Rumble, the platform that hosts Truth Social. The group's 2021 financing included contributions from Peter Thiel and Narya Capital, a firm co-founded by J.D. Vance.
