On Tuesday, AI infrastructure company Runware announced the launch of its own modular data center called Sonic Inference Pod. Designed as a single transportable unit, the Pod represents a more flexible kind of compute that can sit alongside hyperscalers’ massive data center projects.
Runware says the Pod can offer inference at a higher quality but lower cost than other serverless inference platforms and GPU clouds. The modular design means it’s easy add capacity quickly by creating new pods rather than having to expand a fixed data center. In some ways, this is the future, Flaviu Radulescu, co-founder and CEO of Runware, told TechCrunch.
