About Fluidstack
Over the last several years, AI has transformed from a niche technology to one that is surpassing human-level performance on a diverse range of tasks. As a consequence, the amount of compute used for training and inference has grown 5x year-on-year. Plans are being made for training runs that cost upwards of one billion USD and companies are planning to spend hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure in the coming few years.
Fluidstack is accelerating this trend, building and operating GPU supercomputers for top AI labs, governments, and enterprises. Our customers include Mistral, Poolside, Black Forest Labs, Meta, and more.
Our team is lean, highly motivated, and focused on providing the world’s best supercomputing experience. We put our customers first in everything we do, and we hold ourselves and each other to insanely high standards. We expect you to care deeply about the work you do, the products you build, and the experience our customers have in every interaction with us.
