A contracted rollout across several locations
On October 15, 2025, Nscale announced an expanded signed Microsoft agreement covering approximately 200,000 GPUs in the United States and Europe. Its release identified the then Aker-Nscale joint venture and Dell collaboration as part of delivery. Same-day coverage corroborated the contract announcement. [1][2]
The locations had different scheduled delivery periods, and further campus expansion included options. The announcement established a committed rollout, rather than showing that every GPU was already installed or that optional future phases had been purchased. [1]
