This $1.17 billion agreement makes VAST Data the central database for CoreWeave's AI cloud. Specifically, CoreWeave's data centers will rely on VAST Data's technology to store, organize, and make accessible the enormous volumes of information used to train or operate the artificial intelligence models of CoreWeave's customers (ChatGPT, Instagram, Facebook). This choice is based in particular on VAST Data's latest breakthrough, which now makes it possible to classify billions of files in a fraction of a second. In an industry where a single application can handle several billion lines of data, having a fast, reliable system that can grow very quickly is no longer an advantage, but a necessity.
This collaboration illustrates a major trend. The rise of AI is creating unprecedented demand for solutions capable of keeping pace with the explosion of data. Needs have literally changed in scale, and players who are able to support this transition are experiencing spectacular growth. As Renen Hallak, co-founder and CEO of VAST Data, sums it up , "We are building the data foundation for the world's most ambitious AI initiatives." For its part, CoreWeave explains that VAST Data's technology enables a faster and more efficient cloud for artificial intelligence workloads, a key element in a competitive environment that is intensifying month after month.
This partnership also strengthens VAST Data's position in a rapidly growing market. The company is already experiencing strong growth, has integrated Google's cloud structures , and has partnered with SK Telecom to accelerate the deployment of AI in South Korea.
