About Corvex

Corvex is an engineering-led, AI computing platform specializing in GPU-accelerated infrastructure for AI workloads. Corvex's mission is to become the trusted infrastructure partner for AI model training and inference.

Corvex's platform allows organizations to leverage the advantage of AI by providing secure, scalable, and cost-efficient computational resources. Corvex's infrastructure leverages advanced GPU-accelerated compute clusters, high-throughput storage systems and layered architecture to provide enhanced security, consistent performance and efficiency at scale.

Corvex provides a range of capabilities, including:

• AI Factories and GPU Clusters: Corvex's integrated computing and data-center platform is designed to deliver artificial intelligence workloads at scale by combining high-performance AI accelerators, networking, power, cooling, and systems software to support reliable and cost-efficient production AI training and inference. Deployments may be delivered using managed Kubernetes or as bare metal, and operated on-premise or in multi-tenant or single-tenant configurations that are compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and SOC 2 Type II ("SOC 2").
• Confidential Computing: Confidential computing is designed to protect customers' valuable intellectual property and enhance compliance with data security mandates. The company's patent-pending Corvex Secure Model Weights product enables AI model builders and security-conscious enterprises to safely deploy inference workloads on third-party GPU infrastructure without exposing their model weights via the integration of Trusted Execution Environments, post-quantum key exchange, and remote attestation.
• Token Factory: Currently in development, Token Factory is expected to provide access to premium open-source AI models through simplified API integration and a performance-optimized inference engine operating on automatically scaling infrastructure. The platform is designed to improve performance and reduce per-token inference costs relative to certain alternatives by leveraging a proprietary inference engine and custom orchestration logic intended to maximize compute resource utilization when serving multiple models concurrently. The Company intends for Token Factory to achieve SOC 2 Type II certification and to support HIPAA-compliant deployments.
