Nebius acquires Eigen AI to eliminate AI inference bottlenecks

The acquisition is expected to allow Eigen AI’s optimization technology to be integrated into Nebius token factory for inference.“We are operating in a capacity-scarcity world where AI builders need optimized inference and infrastructure scale,” says Roman Chernin, co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Nebius. “The integration of Eigen AI’s optimization capabilities and founding team will establish Nebius Token Factory at the frontier of inference, offering customers market-leading model performance and unit economics with massive compute capacity to back it at scale.”

The joint platform is targeted at customers wanting better model performance and cost effectiveness on the back of Nebius’s global infrastructure.

This integration is aimed at production-efficient inference, especially on open-source models, where the demand is growing. Through this acquisition, Nebius aims to eliminate the bottlenecks that currently exist in the AI model lifecycle.

Eigen AI’s founding team, including researchers from MIT’s HAN Lab, will establish a Nebius presence in the Bay Area.

Meta recently locked in an up to $27B AI capacity deal with Nebius.
