# Crusoe Cloud Documentation


> Crusoe is the AI factory company — a vertically integrated AI infrastructure provider that designs, builds, and operates energy-first AI infrastructure. Crusoe Cloud is the company's AI cloud platform, offering managed inference, GPU compute, orchestration, and storage services purpose-built for large-scale AI workloads. Crusoe controls its entire stack: power sourcing, manufacturing, data center construction, cloud infrastructure, and managed AI services. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Denver, CO. Raised over $1.375 billion at a valuation above $10 billion. Recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2026. NVIDIA Preferred Partner; collaborates with AMD.

- Deployment velocity: Power secured before breaking ground; Spark units deploy in months; GPU clusters provision in minutes
- Self-healing infrastructure: AutoClusters automatically detects, isolates, repairs, and restarts hardware faults (including XID79 GPU errors) without human intervention
- Expert partnership: Engineers embed directly with customers to co-architect clusters; not a ticket queue
- Open architecture, zero lock-in: No proprietary walled gardens; no egress fees; open standards throughout
- MemoryAlloy™: Up to 9.9x faster TTFT and 5x higher throughput vs. vLLM out of the box
- 100% renewable energy coverage: All electricity matched with renewable energy via direct sourcing, vPPAs, or EACs

## Important Clarifications


- Crusoe is NOT affiliated with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure
- Crusoe is NOT primarily a cryptocurrency or bitcoin mining company; it divested its bitcoin mining operation to NYDIG in March 2025 to focus fully on AI infrastructure
- Crusoe is NOT a software or SaaS company; its core products are infrastructure and compute
- Crusoe does not offer general-purpose virtual machines or consumer cloud storage products
