Another GPU cloud has coalesced amid the ongoing AI boom. Today, AI infrastructure startup Foundry announced that its cloud platform is now available for limited access.
Cloud foundry explained
Founded in 2022 by former DeepMind researcher Jared Quincy Davis, Foundry is a relative newcomer to the scene, joining the likes of Lambda and CoreWeave, both of which have attracted billions in the race to cash in on the demand for AI infrastructure.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based cloud upstart aims to be more than just another rent-a-GPU cluster provider. A heavy emphasis on the Foundry Cloud Platform (FCP) to help users cut through the complexities of implementing training, fine-tuning and rolling out inference models.
Specifically, Foundry claims that if a customer reserves 1,000 GPUs for X number of hours, whether days or weeks, they will actually receive all of that compute. This is not a trivial task, especially with larger clusters used for things like training, as the mean time to failure can be quite low.
