CoreWeave announced plans to provide IBM with an initial AI supercomputer powered by NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips, featuring NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems and NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking. IBM will leverage CoreWeave’s high-performance, reliable, and resilient cloud platform to develop the next generation of its Granite models—an open-source, enterprise-ready AI series offering exceptional performance for its size while optimizing safety, speed, and cost-effectiveness for enterprise applications.
“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.
