"The "neo" in neoclouds serves to distinguish them from the more established cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, whose multitude of options for infrastructure, managed services, and applications imply that cloud providers must offer an endless aisle of choices. The hyperscalers were first to support AI workloads, too, but it was a retrofitted option on an existing platform rather than a clean slate implementation built for purpose."
"Neoclouds have one job: provide an optimal home for AI. Most obviously, that means neoclouds feature GPU-first computing, typically available at a price-per-hour less than half that of the hyperscalers. Neoclouds also offer high-bandwidth networking, low-latency storage, advanced power management, and managed services for deploying, monitoring, maintaining, and securing AI workloads. These capabilities are offered through a more streamlined and easy to use surface, unencumbered by traditional non-AI features."
"In contrast to the cookie-cutter options offered by the hyperscalers, neoclouds take a boutique approach, responding to the special requirements and evolving needs of customers-including customers that push the envelope of AI development. That flexibility is a key reason why an increasing number of AI startups, enterprises, researchers, and independent developers are choosing neoclouds as their AI platform of choice."
Neoclouds are specialized clouds devoted to artificial intelligence and are experiencing roughly 35.9% annual growth. They are built from the ground up to meet AI's significant computational demands and have attracted dozens of providers including CoreWeave, Crusoe, Llambda, Nebius, and Vultr. Neoclouds emphasize GPU-first computing, often at less than half the hourly price of hyperscalers, and provide high-bandwidth networking, low-latency storage, advanced power management, and managed services for deploying, monitoring, maintaining, and securing AI workloads. Neoclouds present a streamlined, easy-to-use surface without non-AI features and adopt a boutique approach to address evolving customer requirements, attracting startups, enterprises, researchers, and independent developers.
