The picks-and-shovels play just got a $2.4 billion validation that access to compute, not ownership of models, is the real moat in AI infrastructure. Volta Infra raised $300M in venture funding at a $2.4B valuation, with Andreessen Horowitz and Altimeter leading, plus Nvidia and Michael Dell joining
