At present, we’re happy to announce a monumental milestone in Clarifai’s journey. We have now entered into an settlement with Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS), an AI cloud firm, to license our core engineering and analysis expertise and license our AI inference and compute orchestration mental property.
For over a decade, we at Clarifai have been obsessive about constructing the final word software program layer for AI. Because the trade’s quickest AI inference and inference platform on GPUs, we deal with system-level inference optimizations to allow builders to cost-effectively run their fashions with seamless compute orchestration. Now we’re taking expertise to the best attainable stage.
Why are we excited to hitch Nebius?
As we glance to the way forward for AI, it’s clear that mannequin optimization, software program design, and compute orchestration will have to be seamlessly mixed to attain environment friendly execution at scale.
This is why our workforce is so smitten by this transition:
Constructing the fourth hyperscaler: Nebius is on a mission to change into the world’s fourth hyperscaler and goals to ship extra compute to exterior prospects than any of the present cloud giants. Collectively, our groups shall be a key aspect in rising Nebius from a number one AI infrastructure firm to a full-stack AI powerhouse.
Higher collectively: Nebius builds your individual servers, supplying you with management over your technical roadmap, margins, and future. Combining the corporate’s world-class infrastructure and world capability with our compute orchestration expertise allows us to co-create absolutely optimized {hardware} and software program stacks that ship unparalleled efficiency.
Elite bloodline and tradition: Nebius is led by a world-class workforce, together with CEO Arkady Volozh, who has a long-term imaginative and prescient to win within the AI area. Our workforce has seen their tradition energetic, mission-focused, and constructed on a “You Know Finest” philosophy that empowers staff to do the suitable factor with out pointless pink tape.
Unite the band: Nebius did not simply need our IP. They particularly requested who constructed it. This implies we will convey our core workforce collectively to proceed engaged on what we do finest and seamlessly switch momentum to this new endeavor.
Nebius Token Manufacturing unit Supercharge
Our license settlement is Nevius Token Manufacturing unit Create an entire full-stack inference platform. Whereas Nebius’ current acquisition of Eigen AI focuses on model-level optimization, Clarifai optimizes methods and creates the end-to-end infrastructure wanted to run complicated AI fashions reliably in manufacturing.
Our efficiency optimizations match the trade’s finest speeds, improve compute orchestration and open the cloud to a broader buyer base, pushing the boundaries of Nebus Token Manufacturing unit.
A brand new period of frontier AI analysis
As a part of this transition, I’m very proud to tackle the function of Vice President of Analysis at Nebius. I’ll lead a devoted new analysis unit targeted on frontier AI improvements equivalent to agent inference, multimodal world fashions, token effectivity, and long-term reminiscence.
From superior agent methods to frontier fashions, the way forward for AI relies upon solely on the infrastructure that helps it. By combining our confirmed experience in coaching cutting-edge AI fashions with Nebius’ elite workforce, we’re uniquely positioned to change into one of the vital highly effective mixed AI groups on the planet.
The scope of the settlement is proscribed to Clarifai’s newest AI inference and compute orchestration applied sciences. This doesn’t embrace Clarifai’s legacy laptop imaginative and prescient fashions. Mental property, merchandise, companies, or business agreements associated to Clarifai’s manufacturers or emblems or Clarifai’s U.S. authorities and protection packages.
An enormous thanks to our workforce and neighborhood
As we embark on this new chapter, we want to take a second to specific our gratitude to the superb workforce at Make clear. Constructing this platform over a decade has been an unbelievable journey made attainable solely by the dedication, expertise, and laborious work of everybody who is part of this firm. Though we cannot all be shifting to Nebius collectively, we deeply admire your foundational contributions. Your work has left an indelible mark on the AI trade.
We might additionally wish to thank our superb neighborhood, companions, and prospects who’ve supported Clarifai’s imaginative and prescient from the start. We will not wait to embark on this rocket ship and construct the final word basis for the following decade of AI inference.
Go forward!
