- One of the first deployments of NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 at
supercomputing scale
- Supercomputer will leverage IBM Storage Scale System to
power AI research and development
ROSELAND, N.J. and YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., Jan. 15,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreWeave, the AI Hyperscaler™,
today announced its plans to deliver one of the first NVIDIA GB200
Grace Blackwell Superchip-enabled AI supercomputers to IBM (NYSE:
IBM), equipped with NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems, interconnected with
NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking. IBM will use CoreWeave's
highly performant, reliable, and resilient cloud platform to train
the next generations of its Granite models, IBM's open source,
enterprise-ready series of AI models that deliver state-of-the-art
performance relative to model size while maximizing safety, speed,
and cost-efficiency for enterprise use cases.
"We are thrilled to partner with IBM, a long-time pioneer of
innovative technology solutions, to push the boundaries of
artificial intelligence," said Michael
Intrator, CoreWeave CEO and co-founder. "This collaboration
is a testament to CoreWeave's ability to deliver some of the
world's most advanced AI cloud solutions and will combine our
strengths in engineering and product development. We look forward
to deepening our relationship with IBM to drive transformative
innovation together."
CoreWeave's Cloud Platform is purpose-built to deliver industry
leading performance, reliability, and resiliency, with
enterprise-grade security. Its proprietary software and cloud
services deliver the software and software intelligence needed to
manage the most complex AI infrastructure at scale, and are trusted
by some of the world's leading AI labs and AI enterprises.
The supercomputer will leverage IBM Storage Scale System, which
is combined with NVMe flash technology to deliver high-performance
storage for AI, data analytics, and other demanding workloads. As
part of this agreement, CoreWeave customers can access the IBM
Storage platform within CoreWeave's dedicated environments and AI
cloud platform.
"We are excited to work with CoreWeave on state-of-the-art AI
hardware and software to unlock new capabilities for future
generations of IBM Granite models. CoreWeave's cutting-edge
platform can augment IBM's organic capabilities to help build
advanced, performant, and cost-efficient models for powering
enterprise AI applications and agents. In turn, IBM Storage is
enabling a new world of possibilities for AI by offering IBM
Storage Scale System to enhance CoreWeave's comprehensive suite of
developer-focused AI capabilities. And finally, as part of this
collaboration, we will leverage this supercomputer to advance open
technologies such as Kubernetes that will power AI computing in a
hybrid cloud environment," said Sriram
Raghavan, VP of AI at IBM Research.
