PANews reported on February 19 that according to CoinCentral, the San Francisco-based edge AI startup ClustroAI completed a US$12 million Series A financing round led by Forum Ventures, with participation from MetaBlast and Metaverse Group, bringing the company's total financing to US$15 million, including the seed round previously led by NVIDIA.
ClustroAI focuses on edge AI technology, allowing AI models to run on local devices without relying on cloud computing. Its core technology uses a containerized architecture to support large language models (LLMs), AI generated content (AIGC), voice translation, etc., and optimizes GPU resource allocation to accelerate the reasoning and training process while improving data privacy. As a strategic partner, NVIDIA is promoting the migration of AI computing from data centers to local devices. ClustroAI plans to use the new funds to expand hardware compatibility, support chips such as FPGA, TPU, NPU, and develop automated tools to make AI model updates more convenient.
In addition, ClustroAI is building a distributed AI computing network, connecting multiple device computing resources through container orchestration technology to improve local AI processing efficiency. The platform provides a unified API to simplify developer integration, reduce enterprise cloud computing costs, and improve security and flexibility.
