A supply-chain data point ahead of the 08-11 print: CoreWeave locks priority SSD access

2026-08-05 · part of CoreWeave Bet

What happened

CoreWeave signed a multi-year deal with Solidigm for priority access to enterprise SSD capacity, per COO Sachin Jain "priority access to the storage our roadmap depends on" — a minor item next to the backlog/ debt story, but a concrete sign capacity buildout is still accelerating into the 08-11 earnings print.

Credibility ratings combine two public datasets: Lin et al. 2023, PNAS Nexus 2(9):pgad286 (CC BY 4.0) for the domain-quality score, and Wikipedia's perennial-sources list (CC BY-SA 4.0) for the reliability tier. A rating describes an outlet's general record, never this particular article. Unrated means absent from those datasets — not a judgement.
