CoreWeave, headquartered in New Jersey, is a leading cloud infrastructure company purpose-built for AI workloads, especially those that demand massive GPU compute. Originally founded in 2017 under the name “Atlantic Crypto,” the company pivoted from crypto mining to AI infrastructure as demand for large-scale GPU access exploded.
CoreWeave operates its own fleet of data centers—over 33 globally—with high power capacity and optimized designs for AI. Their infrastructure is tuned end to end for performance: from liquid cooling to high-throughput networking and efficient storage systems. Their architecture aims to squeeze out inefficiencies so GPU clusters can deliver up to 20 % more effective compute relative to general-purpose alternatives.
Clients access CoreWeave’s resources via bare metal or dedicated GPU clusters, often using their “Mission Control” tooling to monitor, scale, and allocate compute with precision. The platform supports both public and private deployments, enabling enterprises to host sensitive workloads within isolated environments, while taking advantage of CoreWeave’s global scale.
In recent years, CoreWeave has secured multi-billion-dollar contracts and partnerships with major AI players. It supplies GPU capacity to frontier labs and large-scale model builders, acting as a backbone for much of the global AI compute infrastructure. Its deep collaboration with GPU vendors (notably NVIDIA) gives it privileged access to cutting-edge hardware, which in turn helps it stay at the performance frontier.
By 2025, CoreWeave had established itself not just as a provider of raw compute, but as a strategic infrastructure partner. It is a foundational enabler of the AI boom, delivering the massive, efficient, reliable GPU capacity on which frontier models depend.
