IBM and Together AI strike $240M AI cluster deal
$240M investment to power next-gen AI workloads on IBM Cloud with Nvidia systems
IBM and AI infrastructure startup Together AI have inked a landmark $240 million multi-year agreement to build a massive AI cluster on IBM Cloud. The collaboration will integrate Nvidia's cutting-edge systems to provide enterprises with the computational firepower needed for next-generation AI workloads, from training large language models to deploying agents (AI that can take autonomous actions).
This deal marks a significant bet on hybrid cloud AI infrastructure, combining IBM's enterprise cloud capabilities with Together AI's specialized focus on high-performance AI workloads. The cluster is expected to deliver scalable, low-latency performance for tasks like RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) and fine-tuning, addressing the growing demand for cost-effective, high-throughput AI training and inference solutions.
