CoreWeave has acquired Monolith AI, known for applying AI and machine learning to engineering simulation challenges, bolstering its cloud platform of cutting-edge software powering AI applications.
CoreWeave announced a £1.5 billion expansion of its AI datacentre capacity in the UK in September, and its purpose-built AI cloud aims to offer a full-stack platform for industrial and manufacturing enterprises, while offering performance and security. Its Monolith aquisition follows that of OpenPipe for reinforcement learning, and Weights & Biases for model iteration and experiment tracking.
Monolith’s tools include anomaly detection, test plan optimisation, and next test recommendation, which can help engineers make faster, more reliable decisions without requiring in-house AI or coding expertise.
By embedding machine learning directly into engineering workflows, Monolith can reduce physical tests that adds time, while improving quality – accelerating innovation.
“Every leader we meet across the industrial and manufacturing sectors knows AI can transform their business. What they need are the right tools to use the technology to solve intractable physics and engineering problems. Those challenges have historically slowed industrial innovation, and Monolith has closed that gap,” said CoreWeave chief strategy officer Brian Venturo. “Together we will help these enterprises better harness AI to accelerate breakthroughs and bring better products to market faster.”
“Monolith was founded to put AI directly into the hands of engineers, enabling them to create breakthrough technologies. Joining CoreWeave will allow us to scale that mission dramatically,” said Monolith COE Dr. Richard Ahlfeld.
“Together we will bring powerful tools and domain expertise to thousands more builders across industries who are eager to use AI but lack the infrastructure and know-how.”
In the automotive sector, CoreWeave serves as the ‘Official AI Cloud Computing Partner’ of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team, supporting the development of the team’s first large-scale cloud computing facility.
