CoreWeave, a cloud computing service that focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) functions, announced its intention to acquire Monolith AI, a London-based software company that concentrates on production-oriented artificial intelligence software. Monolith AI originally formed in 2016 as a spinout from Imperial College London, providing machine learning tools to engineering departments to automate simulation and utilize experimentation with a test-based approach.
This acquisition is part of CoreWeave’s strategic and intentional plans to expand its AI cloud platform. CoreWeave plans to use Monolith’s engineering tools and capabilities to accelerate product development cycles in engineering workflows across verticals.
Enhancing Engineering Workflows with AI
Monolith AI provides a platform for engineers to use machine learning to help solve difficult physics and engineering problems, with little need for coding skills. The platform has tools that help with optimizing test plans, automating data inspections, finding root-causes of errors, and calibrating complex systems faster.
Organizations including Nissan, BMW, and Honeywell have begun utilizing the Monolith AI platform. Searching for new pathways to innovate quicker, generate added accuracy and get products into the market faster, these companies demonstrate that AI is beginning to implement itself into the engineering process.
Instead of the Industrial Revolution, Brian Venturo, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of CoreWeave, noted the importance of the acquisition with, “AI has the capability to build on that which will be world shaping and transformational for the industry and manufacturing.” He stated that many industry leaders understand the benefits of AI in reducing well-known engineering issues and creating a better future but simply do not have the tools they require to solve complex engineering problems.
Dr. Richard Ahlfeld, Founder and CEO of Monolith AI, stated that CoreWeave will help Monolith to accelerate their mission and will increase access to AI tools to help engineers invent new solutions and to speed up technological breakthroughs.
Financial Details and Closing Timeline
The financial details regarding the acquisition were not disclosed. The transaction is anticipated to be finalized in early November 2025, pending customary closing conditions. This timing is consistent with CoreWeave’s strategy and progress in the area of AI infrastructure.
CoreWeave’s Growth Trajectory
The acquisition of Monolith AI aligns with CoreWeave’s recent investments to build up capabilities in the field of industrial AI. Earlier this year CoreWeave purchased OpenPipe, an artificial intelligence startup that produces reinforcement learning tools to train AI agents, as well as Weights & Biases, an artificial intelligence developer platform as part of a bigger strategy to create complete AI cloud ecosystem for multiple industries.
CoreWeave has maintained a strategy that involves multiple partnerships to help maintain and increase their market position. One example of this is a major partnership with Meta worth $14.2 billion for AI compute resources. This lays the foundation for CoreWeave to scale within the AI infrastructure space and be considered a thought leader in the industrial space.
Acquiring Monolith AI is a milestone for CoreWeave and it’s strategy. The combination of Monolths industry, hardware focused AI tools, along with their cloud platform shows CoreWeave’s continued commitment to advancing the use case for industrial AI. Together, these tools will provide engineering teams with a powerful set of tools to work on complex problems, while continuously driving innovation within manufactured industries.
