Brannin McBee: 作为CoreWeave的首席开发官和联合创始人,我认为我们公司是专为人工智能创新而构建的云平台。这意味着我们提供从数据中心到云平台的完整基础设施,包括网络和存储。我们的产品与传统云平台不同,因为它们是为解决人工智能的独特工程问题而设计的。我认为人工智能工作负载对基础设施故障的容忍度极低,因此我们构建的是超级计算机,而不是用于托管网站和存储数据湖的基础设施。我们与客户签订多年合同,客户承诺支付基础设施费用,无论是否使用,这使我们能够降低业务风险。我们率先推出了 NVIDIA 最新的复杂基础设施,并很高兴将其交付给客户。我认为人工智能正在取代搜索,并且比搜索更好,它能提供更深入和更周到的答案。我们专注于与客户签订承诺收入合同,并使用债务来支持基础设施建设,债务在合同期内自我摊销。我认为我们的竞争优势在于我们专为 AI 构建的产品,这与竞争对手受限于技术债务的产品不同。我们的产品是专为 AI 构建的,客户、供应商和投资者都认可这一点。
