TensorWave targets focused AI cloud strategy to deliver better customer experience As AI infrastructure matures, AI cloud strategy is increasingly defined by reliability and open ecosystems rather than raw GPU performance. That evolution is creating new opportunities for specialized providers to challenge incumbent players with more focused strategies. TensorWave Inc. was founded on the belief that surging demand for AI compute created an opportunity for a new approach to cloud infrastructure. The company chose to build exclusively on Advanced Micro Devices Inc., convinced that customers would prioritize availability and performance over established market dynamics, according to Darrick Horton (pictured), co-founder and chief executive officer of TensorWave. “We felt that AMD was really the only credible challenger, the only group that had the right mix of expertise and skill and experience to actually develop and ship a product that could compete with NVIDIA at scale,” Horton said. “Across the board, that’s what we saw. We decided to go all-in with AMD.” Horton spoke with theCUBE’s Dave Vellante at the AMD Advancing AI event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed TensorWave’s AI cloud strategy and why the company believes an AMD-exclusive platform can deliver a better customer experience. (* Disclosure below.) AI cloud strategy takes shape TensorWave has remained committed to AMD because a singular focus allows the company to deliver a better customer experience. Rather than supporting multiple hardware platforms, specializing in one ecosystem enables the company to build more reliable AI infrastructure, Horton noted. “In this space, if you’re not the best at what you do, the customer experience is going to suffer,” Horton said. “It is non-trivial to build and operate these clusters at scale in a way that is reliable, in a way that is seamless for the end customers and ensure that they don’t have to think about it — infrastructure, you should not have to think about.” Here’s the complete video interview, part of SiliconANGLE’s and theCUBE’s coverage of the AMD Advancing AI event: (* Disclosure: TheCUBE is a paid media partner for the AMD Advancing AI event.
