Neocloud thinks AI agents - not meatbags - will be its main customers

Neocloud provider Quake AI anticipates its customers will primarily be AI agents, not human users. This cloud service provider, a creation of US-based Rumble Inc and German datacenter operator Northern Data, is now known as RUM Group. Quake AI operates on Nvidia Cloud Partner status with a substantial 22,000 GPU infrastructure dedicated to AI workloads.

Unlike other neoclouds focused on providing a comprehensive suite of services around their GPUs, Quake AI aims to make its infrastructure easily discoverable for AI agents. RUM Group's CFO, Mike Massey, explained that agents interact with systems through APIs and information rather than visual interfaces. He asserted that Quake AI is designing its platform to cater to the unique needs of AI agents, who desire highly discoverable, data-driven platforms that provide them with raw compute resources as a utility, bypassing the need for intermediary toolkits.

Quake AI's CEO, John Hoffman, compared the capabilities of an AI agent he observed navigating the internet to accomplish simple tasks, arguing that traditional methods requiring significant compute resources are unnecessary when agents can interact directly with data and APIs. This approach, according to Quake AI, has the potential to differentiate itself from competitors and cater to the growing trend of AI agents taking over the internet.
