CoreWeave

The essential cloud for AI

Visit CoreWeave

CoreWeave is an AI-focused cloud platform that provides GPU and CPU compute, storage, networking, and managed software services for training and serving AI models. It also offers CoreWeave Forge, a tooling layer that helps teams run, observe, and improve AI systems across a continuous development loop.

The platform includes GPU Compute on NVIDIA architectures such as Vera Rubin NVL72, Blackwell, and Hopper, running on bare metal or in a Kubernetes-native environment. Storage options include CoreWeave AI Object Storage and distributed file storage, while networking uses NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand and Spectrum-X Ethernet. Managed services cover CoreWeave Kubernetes Service, SUNK (Slurm on Kubernetes), CoreWeave Mission Control for node lifecycle and observability, and CoreWeave Arena for testing workloads before production. Forge supports training run tracking and reinforcement learning from production feedback, and is free to build with any cloud, model, or framework. Additional AI agents include CoreWeave ARIA for analyzing training runs and a Mission Control Agent for operational intelligence.

CoreWeave serves AI labs, startups, enterprises, and developers building AI-native products. Pricing is usage-based, with on-demand and Spot GPU instances priced per hour, and some configurations available through sales contact.
