CoreWeave has agreed to acquire Monolith AI, a company that develops machine learning applications for physics and engineering challenges. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The acquisition, announced Monday, aims to combine Monolith’s simulation-based machine learning capabilities with CoreWeave’s artificial intelligence (AI) cloud infrastructure to create an integrated platform for industrial and manufacturing clients. The companies said the partnership will accelerate research and development cycles and simplify product design workflows while bringing AI tools to traditional engineering environments.
Monolith’s platform is already deployed by major manufacturers such as Nissan, BMW, and Honeywell to speed up product development. The company’s suite of tools — featuring anomaly detection, test plan optimization, and test recommendation capabilities — integrates directly into existing engineering workflows, allowing teams without specialized AI expertise to automate decision-making and reduce dependence on physical testing.
“Monolith was founded to put AI directly into the hands of engineers, enabling them to create breakthrough technologies,” Richard Ahlfeld, founder and CEO of Monolith, said in a statement. “Joining CoreWeave will allow us to scale that mission dramatically.”
The Monolith acquisition is the latest in a series of strategic moves by CoreWeave to expand its applied AI cloud services portfolio. The company recently added OpenPipe for reinforcement learning and Weights & Biases for experiment tracking and model management. CoreWeave also has a presence in the automotive sector as the Official AI Cloud Computing Partner of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.
“Every leader we meet across the industrial and manufacturing sectors knows AI can transform their business,” Brian Venturo, CoreWeave’s co-founder and chief strategy officer, said in a statement. “What they need are the right tools to use the technology to solve intractable physics and engineering problems.”
The announcement comes on the heels of CoreWeave’s expanded partnership with OpenAI, which includes a contract valued at up to $6.5 billion to provide infrastructure for training the ChatGPT creator’s next-generation AI models.
