Crusoe has struck a multiyear cloud deal with Perplexity AI, Bloomberg reports, as the AI search company rents access to artificial-intelligence chips and related software.
Why it mattersThe arrangement is a useful reminder that the AI race is also a hunt for dependable compute underneath the glamorous chatbot layer. The report does not disclose the deal’s value or capacity, so the signal here is strategic: Perplexity is lining up infrastructure, while Crusoe is chasing more business from companies that need somewhere to run AI.
Discuss: Does Perplexity’s infrastructure strategy look like a competitive advantage, or simply the cost of keeping AI search online?
