Clarifai, a global leader in AI and full-stack AI platforms, today announced its entry into the Vultr Cloud Alliance. This strategic collaboration enables enterprises to build, deploy, and scale AI workloads with enhanced control over performance, governance, and cost—leveraging Clarifai’s platform and Vultr’s high-performance global cloud infrastructure.
Partnership Highlights
- Comprehensive AI Platform & Global Cloud Infrastructure
The partnership combines Clarifai’s full-stack AI capabilities—from model development to deployment and governance—with Vultr’s secure, compliant infrastructure, featuring high-performance CPUs, managed Kubernetes (VKE), managed databases like Apache Kafka, scalable storage, bare metal servers, and a broad range of AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. - Cost Efficiency & Performance
Customers can save up to 90% on AI workload costs, with at least 70% savings on NVIDIA A100 80 GB GPUs compared to major hyperscalers, plus flexible purchase options including single or blocks of GPUs. - Support for Any AI Model and GPU
Clarifai enables deployment of any open-source, foundation, or custom AI model on Vultr’s extensive GPU lineup (AMD Instinct MI300X, MI325X, NVIDIA HGX B200, H100, A100 PCIe, L40S), optimizing for performance, power efficiency, or cost. - Unified Compute Orchestration
Clarifai’s platform provides secure, scalable, containerized model deployment managed via a single interface, dynamically provisioning resources on Vultr Kubernetes Engine or bare metal servers. Built-in governance offers centralized control over performance, cost, and access. - Edge AI Capabilities
Clarifai’s edge AI platform supports lightweight, high-performance models on edge devices—even air-gapped or offline—complemented by Vultr’s 32 data center regions worldwide, ensuring low-latency, real-time intelligence at the data source.
