Crusoe has signed a multiyear agreement with Perplexity to support the AI company’s full model lifecycle on Crusoe Cloud, from training and fine-tuning frontier models to production inference. Perplexity will use dedicated NVIDIA GB300 NVL72-powered clusters, NVIDIA InfiniBand Solutions and Crusoe’s Managed Inference service, while Crusoe will deploy Perplexity Enterprise Pro and Max for its 1,800 employees. The contract value, hardware volumes and deployment timeline were not disclosed. The agreement adds to Perplexity’s cloud relationships with AWS and Microsoft Azure and follows Crusoe’s approximately $13 billion, five-year AI cloud contract with Jane Street announced earlier in September.
