Brief

Fluidstack raised an $830M Series A in January at a $7.5B valuation led by Situational Awareness (with reported participation from BlackRock, Google and Jane Street). The company aims to deploy 'hundreds of gigawatts' of AI compute and claims the fastest large-scale deployment. Author @adxtyahq argues compute—not models—will be the next bottleneck and will decide whether AI expands or restricts human freedom.

Why it matters

Fluidstack raised an $830M Series A in January at a $7.5B valuation, led by Situational Awareness with reported participation from BlackRock, Google and Jane Street.

Key details

  • Fluidstack claims its infrastructure can deploy 'hundreds of gigawatts' of compute for leading AI labs and says it aims to be the fastest on the planet at large-scale deployment.
  • Author @adxtyahq asserts the next AI bottleneck is compute infrastructure (not models) and that whoever deploys frontier compute fastest will determine whether AI expands human freedom or concentrates power; the company is hiring.

$830M from BlackRock, Google, Jane Street and Situational Awareness

I’ve believed for a while that the next AI bottleneck wouldn’t be models, it’d be compute infrastructure.

Hard not to see where the industry is headed after this

In January, Fluidstack raised an $830M Series A at a $7.5B valuation, led by Situational Awareness, with participation from world-leading investors.

Fluidstack builds infrastructure for the leading AI labs - our goal is to be the fastest on the planet at deploying hundreds of gigawatts of compute.

As we stand at the event horizon of the singularity, humanity’s best chance is if democracies, with error correcting institutions, free speech, and checks on power, imbue those same principles into superintelligence. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether Al expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We are hiring - come join us.
