Deep Infra raises $18 million in Series A funding, led by Felicis and earliest believer and advisor Georges Harik.
Founded in 2022 to address a clear gap in the AI landscape, Deep Infra identified that while significant investment was going into training AI models, production-ready infrastructure lagged behind.
Over the past two years, processing volume has scaled by over 8,000x since the seed stage. Initially a bold bet on AI infrastructure, Deep Infra has evolved into a critical service supporting the deployment of increasingly advanced models.
The rise of "thinking models" such as DeepSeek marked a turning point. These open-source innovations demonstrated that the AI innovation cycle was accelerating faster than anticipated, drastically increasing the computational demands of inference.
Deploying modern AI models presents significant hurdles for most organizations. Substantial compute power, access to specialized hardware like GPUs, and deep infrastructure expertise are required — barriers that many companies cannot surmount due to cost or supply chain limitations.
These challenges have shaped Deep Infra’s approach from inception. With prior experience scaling systems to hundreds of millions of users, Deep Infra adheres to a set of foundational principles:
"Reliability is non-negotiable when your service powers critical applications. We design for zero downtime because AI infrastructure must be as dependable as the electricity powering your office."
"Performance creates competitive advantage. Our obsession with fast time-to-first-token and optimal GPU utilization isn't technical vanity – it directly impacts our customers' user experience and cost structure."
"Privacy builds lasting trust. Our strict no-logging policy for user prompts isn't just a feature – it's a fundamental commitment to our customers' data sovereignty."
"Deep infrastructure expertise matters at every layer. Understanding the full stack from hardware to application allows us to deliver superior performance while controlling costs."
These principles have guided Deep Infra’s rapid expansion in computing capacity. A recent shipment of NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, with additional orders placed, will support continued growth. The Series A funding will be invested directly into scaling operations and infrastructure to meet rising demand.
To the companies relying on Deep Infra for production workloads — gratitude is extended. The journey is only beginning as Deep Infra builds the infrastructure that powers the future of AI.
