Livingston-based CoreWeave announced March 4 a multiyear partnership with Perplexity AI. The collaboration will support the AI company’s inference workloads on its cloud platform.

Under the agreement, Perplexity will power next-generation inference workloads on CoreWeave‘s infrastructure. It will use clusters powered by NVIDIA GB200 NVL72. The systems deliver high performance and low latency for AI models operating in real-world environments.

The companies will also pilot new services together. Additionally, CoreWeave will roll out Perplexity Enterprise Max internally to support research, data analysis and knowledge search across the organization. The introduction will work with the most advanced AI models available — all within one platform.

“We’re proud to partner with Perplexity as they scale their inference workloads on CoreWeave’s AI cloud. AI applications running in production require more than just access to raw infrastructure,” said Max Hjelm, senior vice president of revenue at CoreWeave. “They require best-in-class performance and reliability as well as a cloud platform designed end-to-end for AI that simplifies compute operations.”

Perplexity has already begun running workloads through CoreWeave’s Kubernetes service as part of the initial phase of the deployment.

“We were impressed by the combination of CoreWeave’s technical aptitude and partner-first mindset that help AI-native companies accelerate their growth and scaling goals,” said Dmitry Shevelenko, chief business officer at Perplexity. “CoreWeave is an essential partner in our efforts to optimize our infrastructure and the models we use to provide Perplexity users across industries with the strongest AI tools and agents on the market.”

CoreWeave said the collaboration highlights its role as a specialized cloud provider for companies operating advanced AI systems in high-demand production environments.
