• Brings Clarifai's deep expertise in system-level inference optimization and production AI to Nebius's managed inference platform and global capacity
  • Clarifai founder and CEO Matthew Zeiler, Ph.D., to lead Nebius research team

Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS), the AI cloud company, today announced that the core engineering and research team from Clarifai, led by founder and CEO Matthew Zeiler, is joining Nebius. Nebius has also agreed to license Clarifai's inference and compute orchestration technology.

The transaction will further strengthen Nebius Token Factory as a full-stack inference platform following Nebius's recently announced acquisition of Eigen AI. While Eigen AI optimizes at the model level, Clarifai's technology optimizes the system, creating the end-to-end infrastructure required to run complex AI models reliably in production.
