Brannin McBee: 作为CoreWeave的联合创始人,我认为我们公司是一个专为人工智能创新提供动力的云平台。这意味着我们提供从数据中心到云平台的完整基础设施,包括网络和存储等所有必要的组件。我们的业务模式是拥有这些基础设施,然后将其租赁给客户,这与亚马逊、谷歌和微软等其他云基础设施提供商类似,但我们的重点完全放在人工智能上。我认为我们与竞争对手的主要区别在于,他们的产品是围绕托管网站和存储数据湖等不同的工程问题设计的,而人工智能的需求完全不同。因此,我们构建的是专为人工智能工作负载设计的超级计算机,而不是修改现有的基础设施。我们的客户包括领先的AI实验室和采用AI的企业,他们与我们签订多年合同,承诺支付基础设施费用,无论他们是否使用它。这种模式使我们能够确保收入,并降低与大量资本支出相关的风险。我们率先推出了NVIDIA的最新基础设施,并不断创新以满足AI领域的需求。我认为推理模型的引入是人们对人工智能产生顿悟的时刻,他们开始使用AI来获取答案,而不是使用传统的搜索工具。总的来说,我认为CoreWeave正在引领AI云基础设施的未来,并为客户提供他们所需的工具,以推动AI创新。
