VAST Data, the AI operating system company, has signed a commercial agreement worth US$1.17 billion with CoreWeave, a cloud provider for AI workloads.

The expanded partnership confirms CoreWeave’s continued use of the VAST AI OS as its primary data platform.

The VAST AI OS enables CoreWeave’s infrastructure to provide access to large datasets and support both training and inference workloads.

Its scalable architecture allows deployment in any data centre without concerns over platform reliability or scale.

Under the expansion, CoreWeave and VAST will offer data services across the full stack, optimising pipelines and supporting model development.

“At VAST, we are building the data foundation for the most ambitious AI initiatives in the world,”

said Renen Hallak, Founder and CEO of VAST Data.

“Our deep integration with CoreWeave is the result of a long-term commitment to working side by side at both the business and technical level. By aligning our roadmaps, we are delivering an AI platform that organisations cannot find anywhere else in the market.”

“The VAST AI Operating System underpins key aspects of how we design and deliver our AI cloud,”

said Brian Venturo, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of CoreWeave.

“This partnership enables us to deliver AI infrastructure that is performant, scalable, and cost-efficient, while reinforcing the trust and reliability of a data platform that our customers depend on for their most demanding workloads.”

The agreement supports a shared objective to advance data and compute architecture for AI, combining CoreWeave’s GPU-accelerated infrastructure with the VAST AI OS to support continuous training, real-time inference, and large-scale data processing.
