The supercomputer will feature NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems interconnected with NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, providing unparalleled performance for artificial intelligence workloads. CoreWeave will leverage its advanced cloud platform to train the next generation of [IBM’s Granite](https://www.storagereview.com/news/ibm-expands-enterprise-ai-offerings-with-mistral-large-on-watsonx-ai) models, a series of open-source, enterprise-ready AI models. Granite models are designed to balance state-of-the-art performance with safety, speed, and cost-efficiency, making them ideal for enterprise applications. ![]() CoreWeave CEO and co-founder Michael Intrator expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “We are thrilled to partner with IBM, a long-time pioneer of innovative technology solutions, to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence. 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 and IBM Storage Scale System CoreWeave’s cloud platform is specifically engineered to deliver industry-leading performance, reliability, and resiliency for complex AI workloads. It incorporates enterprise-grade security and proprietary software to support the most demanding AI infrastructure at scale. The platform is trusted by leading AI labs and enterprises globally and offers the necessary software intelligence to manage cutting-edge AI operations efficiently. ![]() The new AI supercomputer will integrate the [IBM Storage Scale System](https://www.storagereview.com/news/ibm-storage-scale-system-6000-enhanced-for-genai-performance-intensive-workloads), which combines NVMe flash technology to deliver high-performance storage optimized for AI, data analytics, and other intensive workloads. As part of this collaboration, CoreWeave customers will gain access to the IBM Storage platform within CoreWeave’s dedicated environments and AI cloud platform. This integration ensures robust storage capabilities for demanding enterprise and research needs. ### Transformative Collaboration for Enterprise AI Sriram Raghavan, Vice President of AI at IBM Research, highlighted the significance of this partnership: “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, 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 the IBM Storage Scale System to enhance CoreWeave’s comprehensive suite of developer-focused AI capabilities.” This partnership will also leverage open technologies such as Kubernetes, driving advancements in hybrid cloud environments. By combining CoreWeave’s AI cloud solutions with IBM’s AI expertise and storage technology, the collaboration aims to set new benchmarks in performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency for enterprise AI applications. Together, the organizations will create transformative tools that redefine the future of artificial intelligence in business and beyond.
