NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 20, 2025 / ClustroAI, an emerging innovator in edge AI technology, has announced the successful completion of its Series A funding round, securing $12 million to advance AI deployment on local and edge devices. With a total funding amount reaching $15 million, including its earlier seed round backed by NVIDIA, the Series A investment was led by Forum Ventures, with participation from MetaBlast, Metaverse Group, and other prominent investors. This funding will enable ClustroAI to further expand its technology and optimize its core platform, allowing enterprises to seamlessly run AI models on local devices and edge servers-without reliance on cloud computing.
Unlocking the Potential of Edge AI
At the core of ClustroAI's innovation is a containerized architecture designed to run AI efficiently on local devices-including smartphones, industrial machines, and autonomous systems-without requiring cloud-based data transfers. This approach supports a wide range of AI applications, including large language models (LLMs), AIGC, speech translation, and real-time data processing, all while optimizing GPU resource allocation to accelerate inference, improve training, and enhance data privacy.
The platform's unified API simplifies AI integration, making it as intuitive as cloud-based solutions while delivering enhanced security, flexibility, and significantly lower bandwidth and cloud computing costs. By reducing dependency on centralized infrastructure, ClustroAI is making AI adoption more scalable and cost-effective for enterprises across industries.
NVIDIA, a key investor, has been at the forefront of shifting AI computation from centralized data centers to edge devices. ClustroAI's protocol-driven approach to edge AI and its innovative compute resource scheduling align with this industry evolution, setting new benchmarks for AI efficiency and interoperability.
"Our strategic partnership with NVIDIA is redefining edge computing. ClustroAI's protocol-based architecture not only enables dynamic compute resource scheduling but also transforms every GPU, NPU, and even sensor into an autonomous decision-making node. From industrial machinery to smart terminals, we're making compute power available on demand," said Chris, Co-founder of ClustroAI.
Scaling Innovation: ClustroAI's Roadmap
With this latest funding, ClustroAI is accelerating development across three key areas:
1. Simplifying AI Operations and Management
ClustroAI is developing automated tools that allow enterprises to update AI models effortlessly-much like updating a mobile app. This eliminates complex technical processes, streamlining AI deployment and ensuring long-term operational stability.
2. Building a Distributed AI Compute Network
By leveraging container orchestration technology, ClustroAI is connecting AI computing power across multiple devices, creating an intelligent compute network. This approach enhances resource allocation, enabling more efficient and resilient local AI processing.
3. Expanding Hardware Compatibility to Drive AI Adoption
Beyond GPUs, ClustroAI is broadening its support for FPGA, TPU, and NPU chipsets, unlocking AI capabilities for a wider range of applications-from smartphones and security systems to autonomous driving, smart factories, and citywide AI infrastructure.
ClustroAI envisions a future where AI is as accessible as mobile devices, seamlessly integrated into everyday operations without dependence on cloud infrastructure. This funding milestone marks a significant step toward that vision, driving the adoption of efficient, secure, and cost-effective AI solutions across industries.
