Business focus and platform capabilities
CoreWeave states that it delivers a platform of technology, tools, and teams that enables innovators to build and scale AI with confidence. The company highlights that it combines high-performance infrastructure with deep technical expertise, positioning its cloud platform for production AI workloads. Its offerings include high-performance compute, data storage that is compatible with multi-cloud environments, and a software layer that builders rely on to develop, test, and deploy AI systems.
The company has introduced CoreWeave Mission Control, which it describes as an operating standard for training, inference, and agentic AI workloads. Mission Control functions as a central orchestrator that monitors GPU fleets, manages node and fleet lifecycles, and helps detect and troubleshoot issues. It brings together security features, talent services, and observability into a single system so enterprise technology teams can run large-scale AI workloads efficiently, securely, and reliably.
Mission Control provides real-time visibility into GPU, network, and storage performance, and incorporates identity and access controls, compliance logging, and secure audit log delivery to customer security information and event management (SIEM) systems. It continuously evaluates the health of GPUs and nodes, initiates automated triage when issues surface, and can route incidents to CoreWeave operations experts. The company notes that these capabilities are intended to shorten detection and repair cycles and support high-throughput training and inference across distributed systems.
AI infrastructure and hardware integration
CoreWeave emphasizes its focus on bringing advanced AI infrastructure to market quickly and at scale. The company reports that it was the first cloud provider to offer general availability of NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 instances and the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Ultra NVL72 platform. It has also announced plans to add NVIDIA Rubin technology to its AI cloud platform, including NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 racks, which are designed to support workloads such as agentic AI, drug discovery, genomic research, climate simulation, and fusion energy modeling.
To support these systems, CoreWeave has developed a Rack Lifecycle Controller, described as a Kubernetes-native orchestrator that treats an entire NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack as a single programmable entity. This controller coordinates provisioning, power operations, and hardware validation to help ensure production readiness before customer workloads are deployed. Mission Control is integrated with NVIDIA’s Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) Engine to provide diagnostics and observability across fleet, rack, and cabinet levels.
Data storage and multi-cloud AI workloads
CoreWeave offers CoreWeave AI Object Storage, which the company describes as an "industry-leading" service that provides a single global dataset that can be accessed without egress charges or request and transaction fees. The service is designed to power low-latency, high-throughput data access for large-scale machine learning training workloads and to balance speed and efficiency across active and inactive data.
To support data movement, the company has launched its Zero Egress Migration (0EM) program. This program is described as a no-egress-fee data migration offering that enables customers to move large-scale datasets from third-party cloud providers directly to CoreWeave’s cloud. CoreWeave states that it will cover egress fees for AI workloads from third-party cloud networks for the initial migration and provide a fully managed service to ensure secure, end-to-end validated, high-speed data transfers. Once data is stored in CoreWeave AI Object Storage, customers can utilize a single global dataset and avoid additional costs from data replication and data sprawl.
The company also highlights its Local Object Transport Accelerator (LOTA) technology, which it describes as delivering high throughput per GPU regardless of where data is located. This is presented as part of the company’s effort to support large-scale, multi-cloud AI workloads and to provide cost savings and flexibility for customers who operate across multiple cloud environments.
Software and AI development tools
CoreWeave notes that its platform includes a software layer that builders rely on to develop, test, and deploy AI systems. It has introduced Serverless RL, which it describes as the first publicly available, fully managed reinforcement learning capability. The company also references capabilities gained through its acquisition of Weights and Biases, including W&B Models and W&B Inference, which are used by customers such as Runway for observability and inference on AI workloads.
Mission Control includes additional features such as Telemetry Relay, which streams audit and access logs from CoreWeave services into a customer’s SIEM or observability tools, and GPU Straggler Detection, which provides rank-level visibility inside distributed training jobs to identify GPUs or nodes causing performance issues. The Mission Control Agent is described as a conversational assistant that exposes Mission Control’s operating standard so teams can interact with it directly to understand system behavior and troubleshoot issues.
Customer relationships and sector reach
CoreWeave reports that it is trusted by leading AI labs, startups, global enterprises, and public sector agencies. The company has disclosed material agreements with organizations such as OpenAI, Meta Platforms, Inc., and NVIDIA Corporation, under which it provides cloud computing capacity and reserved capacity arrangements. It has also announced an agreement to provide AI cloud solutions to Runway for scaling next-generation video generation models.
In the public sector, CoreWeave has joined the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, an initiative that connects advanced compute resources, research facilities, and large-scale datasets to support discovery science, national security, and energy innovation. The company has also formed CoreWeave Federal, a dedicated business unit focused on delivering secure, high-performance AI cloud services to U.S. government agencies and the Defense Industrial Base, and preparing its platform to meet requirements such as FedRAMP and other federal authorizations.
