About the company:

Crusoe is the industry’s first vertically integrated, purpose-built AI cloud platform. The company is redefining AI cloud infrastructure and its platform is recognized as the "gold standard" among builders for its reliability and performance in developing, training, and deploying AI models.

Crusoe co-locates mobile data centers with stranded energy resources, like flare gas and underloaded renewables, to deliver low-cost, carbon-negative distributed computing solutions. Crusoe Cloud is a managed cloud services platform powered by stranded energy that enables climate-friendly innovation in computationally intensive fields including artificial intelligence, graphics rendering, and computational biology.
