OMNI Compute is a unified compute marketplace that enables enterprises to access, provision, and operate GPUs across any cloud or region, with no code changes required<\/p>\n
Cast AI, the leading Application Performance Automation platform, today introduced\u00a0OMNI Compute, a unified compute control plane that automatically discovers available resources across cloud providers and regions and transparently extends existing Kubernetes clusters to consume them. The company also announced a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures (PAV), the U.S.-based corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group, an over $50 billion Korean conglomerate with leading businesses across retail, consumer, and digital platforms. With this round of funding, Cast AI\u2019s valuation exceeds $1 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cShinsegae Group\u2019s investment, and our over one billion dollar valuation, underscore the market\u2019s confidence in our platform vision and our ability to execute it globally,\u201d said Cast AI Co-Founder and CEO Yuri Frayman. \u201cEnterprises don\u2019t just need cheaper infrastructure \u2013 they need infrastructure that adapts automatically as workloads and constraints change. That is what our automation agents were built to do, and this investment helps us scale that globally.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cast AI expands its platform with the introduction of OMNI Compute<\/p>\n
OMNI Compute connects external capacity, including GPUs, as native compute, allowing workloads to run on the most appropriate resources, locally or across clouds, without code changes, reconfiguration, or operational changes.<\/p>\n
It enables organizations to run any workloads, starting with AI inference, without cloud lock-in, while maintaining control over where they execute, to meet compliance and regulatory requirements. Teams can scale services without pinning workloads to a single region or provider, while keeping infrastructure behavior automated, governed, and predictable as demand increases. It applies the same optimization used across the Cast AI platform to this external capacity, including GPU sharing, monitoring, and rightsizing, ensuring AI workloads remain efficient and consistent at scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cOMNI Compute makes GPUs fungible at the infrastructure layer so capacity isn\u2019t trapped inside a single cloud or region,\u201d said Cast AI President and Co-Founder Laurent Gil. \u201cTeams can move, allocate, and run production workloads wherever compute is actually available, with control over cost and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oracle is one of the cloud providers making GPU capacity available to Cast AI customers through OMNI Compute.<\/p>\n
\u201cPartnering with Cast AI opens entirely new markets for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Organizations running on any hyperscaler can now access best-in-class OCI AI infrastructure instantly, in every Oracle Cloud region worldwide,\u201d said Karan Batta, Senior Vice President, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. \u201cOMNI Compute removes the barriers that traditionally kept enterprises locked into a single cloud, and it allows them to tap into OCI\u2019s high-performance GPU fleet the moment they need it. This is a step-change in how global AI platforms will deploy and scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCast AI\u2019s ability to provision GPUs across multiple clouds and regions without requiring a single change to our application code is a game changer for running AI inference at scale,\u201d said Uniphore Vice President of Product Management Erik Johnson. \u201cIn production, access to reliable, affordable GPU capacity exactly where and when you need it is mission-critical. OMNI Compute makes that possible. It enables us to serve our customers in different regions around the world, gives us instant flexibility, eliminates regional GPU shortages, and lets us maintain consistent performance globally. That level of portability fundamentally changes how we build and operate real-time AI workloads.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cast AI rapidly growing across all geographies, industries, and segments<\/p>\n
Shinsegae Group\u2019s investment follows a year of record performance at Cast AI that included\u00a0a Series C funding round\u00a0led by G2 Venture Partners and SoftBank Vision Fund 2, with participation from Agla\u00e9 Ventures, joining alongside existing partners Hedosophia, Cota Capital, Vintage Investment Partners, Creandum, and Uncorrelated Ventures. Today, Cast is trusted by organizations including Akamai, BMW, Cisco, FICO, HuggingFace, NielsenIQ, Swisscom, and TGS.<\/p>\n
Global expansion has been a core pillar of Cast AI\u2019s growth strategy following its Series C funding round. Since then, the company has significantly expanded its regional footprint by opening new offices in Bangalore, London, New York, and Tel Aviv, as well as subsidiaries in Canada, France, India, Korea, Lithuania, Singapore, and the UK.<\/p>\n
\u201cCast AI has built a category-defining automation platform that aligns with the needs of modern, cloud-first enterprises,\u201d said Hyuk Jin Chung, Managing Partner at PAV. \u201cWe see strong demand for the company\u2019s platform globally, and we\u2019re excited to support the company\u2019s continued expansion in Asia and help it realize its long-term Application Performance Automation platform vision.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Cast AI, we\u2019ve automated continuous infrastructure optimization on Amazon EKS \u2013 reducing operational overhead while improving application efficiency and cost control in real time,\u201d said Kyotack Tylor Kim, Head of Next Gen Cloud Group at Samsung Electronics. \u201cOMNI Compute\u2019s unified control plane has the potential to change how enterprises like Samsung run AI infrastructure globally.\u201dThe post Cast AI Valued at Over $1 Billion With the Launch of Its GPU Marketplace first appeared on AI-Tech Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
