Congrats to the team! As we move into the agentic era, flexible and reliable infrastructure for orchestrating compute will only become more important. I believe @skypilot_org will be a critical part of that stack.
Today, SkyPilot is out of stealth. Building custom intelligence is now existential. We help frontier AI teams build intelligence faster by removing their biggest bottleneck: AI compute fragmentation. Frontier teams like @appliedcompute, @AbridgeHQ, @hippocraticai, @hcompany_ai, and @nubank already run on SkyPilot, with 10x faster time-to-intelligence and double-digit increase in GPU utilization. AI teams today get compute anywhere they can. They then firefight compute fragmentation across providers. Researchers burn time on workload setup. Infra gets paged when GPUs go down. Frontier teams build slowly even on the fastest compute. @skypilot_org turns your fragmented compute into one AI supercomputer, so you run frontier workloads faster. Many users manage 10,000+ GPUs across providers with SkyPilot. GPU hours consumption has grown 6x in the last 6 months. 1/ We're launching SkyPilot Platform — the AI compute platform for frontier AI teams to manage large GPU fleets and accelerate building custom intelligence. Optimized for fleet management, team governance, and frontier workloads — pretraining, post-training, multi-cluster serving, and sandboxes. SkyPilot open source users can switch to the platform with a server URL change. 2/ We've raised over $20M led by @Lux_Capital (@breeves08), with participation from @AmplifyPartners (@dauber, @lennypruss), @coatuemgmt, @FoundationCap (@ashugarg , @JayaGup10), @RaceCapital, @thehousefund, and top operators like @alighodsi (CEO, Databricks), @JeffDean (Chief Scientist, Google), @rauchg (CEO, Vercel), @amasad (CEO, Replit), @ClemDelangue (CEO, @huggingface) and more. We're hiring across Engineering and GTM to deliver the platform for the next decade of AI. Above all, I'm excited to be building with the incredible team we've assembled, along with my cofounders Zhanghao @Michaelvll1, Romil @bromil101, Scott, and Ion @istoica05. If you firefight AI compute, let's build.
The series is continuing with another company that announced raising a lot of money a few weeks after talking on our podcast https://www.the-information-bottleneck.com/p/how-to-turn-research-into-billion
