We are squarely in the artificial intelligence event season with MWC just wrapping up and Nvidia GTC and RSAC on deck. The talk of every show this year has been about moving AI from vision to reality. However, it’s often the case that the transition from AI experimentation to production-grade, value-generating systems hits a wall because of infrastructure availability and readiness.
It seems every day there’s a new announcement regarding an economic event with artificial intelligence. Recently, Nvidia Corp. made an investment in OpenAI and then OpenAI turned around and took a stake in Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Then there was the $6.3 billion deal between CoreWeave Inc. and Nvidia. Why so much activity?
QumulusAI, a Georgia-based provider of graphics processing unit-powered cloud infrastructure for artificial intelligence, is making moves to claim a leadership position in the emerging neocloud market today by naming Michael Maniscalco new chief executive officer. Maniscalco (pictured), former chief technology officer of Applied Digital Corp., will bring his technical skills to an already deep team to bring enterprise-grade AI infrastructure to market.
