VAST Data, the AI Operating System company, has announced the signing of a commercial agreement worth $1.17bn billion with CoreWeave, the essential cloud for AI. The expanded partnership strengthens CoreWeave’s long-standing commitment to the VAST AI Operating System (AI OS) as its primary data foundation, positioning VAST as a core component of CoreWeave’s AI cloud infrastructure.
Powered by the VAST AI OS, CoreWeave’s infrastructure provides instant access to massive datasets, breakthrough performance, and cloud-scale economics for both training and inference workloads. With its infinitely scalable system architecture, CoreWeave can deploy VAST in any data center, supporting any customer requirement without concerns about platform reliability or scalability. In some of the world’s most demanding computing environments, VAST and CoreWeave are working together to ensure that customers are always computing at peak performance.
As part of this expanded collaboration, CoreWeave and VAST will jointly deliver advanced data services that span the full stack, enhancing data pipelines and enabling model builders with powerful design and performance capabilities. The two companies are developing next-generation AI infrastructure that allows customers to innovate faster, scale seamlessly, and operate with greater efficiency.
“At VAST, we are building the data foundation for the most ambitious AI initiatives in the world,” said Renen Hallak, founder and CEO of VAST Data. “Our deep integration with CoreWeave is the result of a long-term commitment to working side by side at both the business and technical level. By aligning our roadmaps, we are delivering an AI platform that organisations cannot find anywhere else in the market.”
“The VAST AI Operating System underpins key aspects of how we design and deliver our AI cloud,” said Brian Venturo, co-founder and chief strategy officer of CoreWeave. “This partnership enables us to deliver AI infrastructure that is the most performant, scalable, and cost-efficient in the market, while reinforcing the trust and reliability of a data platform that our customers depend on for their most demanding workloads.”
The agreement advances a shared mission to redefine the data and compute architecture powering AI. By combining CoreWeave’s GPU-accelerated cloud infrastructure with the VAST AI OS, the companies are creating a new class of intelligent data architecture that supports continuous training, real-time inference, and large-scale data processing for mission-critical industries.
