KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, announced that Cloudflare R2 Storage, the distributed object storage that eliminates egress costs, is providing essential infrastructure for leading generative artificial intelligence (AI) companies.
“AI companies understand that Cloudflare is designed for speed and efficiency, enabling them to be competitive in this rapidly changing market. As they grow in popularity and traffic, we are there to help with storage, security and performance as costs and bots sneak up on them.
“Our global network and zero egress fees means these developers can focus on innovating fast, and worry less on the cost and technical decisions that sneak up on them,” said Cloudflare co-founder and chief executive officer, Matthew Prince in a statement.
Generative AI requires massive amounts of computing power and relies on graphics processing units (GPUs) to quickly and efficiently process enormous amounts of data to train the large language models (LLMs) that are at the core of their offerings.
With the sudden acceleration of generative AI companies coming on the market, these companies are now facing a scarcity of processing power from their cloud providers.
Cloudflare R2 Storage provides zero-cost egress, making it simple to migrate large volumes of data across clouds and easily use best-in-class technology.
Cloudflare is announcing several new partnerships to support generative AI companies using R2 Storage as part of the infrastructure for their training models.
These partnerships will ensure that the innovation around AI-specialised and distributed GPUs works the way it was intended, eliminating vendor lock-in and making training generative AI models accessible and affordable.
Partnerships include with CoreWeave, a specialised cloud provider, delivering a massive scale of GPUs on top of the industry’s fastest and most flexible infrastructure; Lambda Inc, world’s best deep learning cloud and the only public cloud designed for and focused on training LLMs & foundation model; and MosaicML which helps customers easily train and deploy large AI models with full data privacy and model ownership.
