- Thanks and much appreciated recognition 🙏 Our ultimate goals are to build cost-effective AI infrastructure as a modular distributed architecture and to produce intelligence that benefits humanity and to improve our everyday life. Let’s build intelligent factories everywhere
- At Tonomia, we push the boundaries of what is possible to build, install, test, and bring GPU capacity live using our distributed AI architecture. We deliver AI factories 1MW at a time and stack them to deliver 5, 10, 20MW sites. Every deployment means securing onsite power, liquid cooling, connectivity and compliance requirements before a single GPU goes live. We enable for the scaling of AI-native applications, orchestration of workloads across distributed AI infrastructure. We bring local AI compute capacity running open
- We need more distributed and modular AI solutions to squeeze more compute from smaller and environmentally friendly footprints. That's exactly what our All-In-One TonoForge AI factory solution with Vera Rubin helps to achieve the highest compute performance per square foot while seamlessly blending in the environment and recovering/reusing the heat for the surrounding communities. The future of AI is building distributed intelligence using modular AI factories to harness available energy (grid and renewable) and to bring
