Expert Statements
Dr. Nadia Carlsten, President and CEO of Smartbird
“Enterprises don’t want to assemble AI infrastructure from individual parts. They want a complete solution that works, operated by people who have done this before.”
Dr. Nadia Carlsten, President and CEO of Smartbird
“Every Smartbird AI cluster is designed around the customer’s specific requirements, whether they’re a bank, a hospital, a manufacturer, or a government agency. By incorporating WEKA NeuralMesh, Smartbird gives customers a data and memory layer proven to perform at scale. This partnership reflects our approach to building infrastructure: experienced partners, trusted technologies, and disciplined execution.”
Liran Zvibel, Co-founder and CEO of WEKA
“Agentic AI is unforgiving: idle GPUs and stalled pipelines land straight on the P&L statement. Enterprises have been told the fix is a tradeoff, performance or sovereignty, but that was always a failure of infrastructure, not a law of physics.”
Liran Zvibel, Co-founder and CEO of WEKA
“WEKA NeuralMesh ends the tradeoff. Smartbird delivers it as dedicated clusters customers don’t have to build or operate. Together, we're giving regulated industries production AI that runs at full speed, on infrastructure only they touch, with more output per GPU, per watt and per dollar.”
