What HPC-AI Technology does

HPC-AI Technology PTE. LTD. (operating as HPC-AI Tech) is a Singapore-headquartered AI infrastructure company founded in 2021 that develops large-scale systems for training, fine-tuning, and deploying large AI models. Its core technical stack centers on Colossal-AI, an open-source distributed training and inference optimization system, and Open-Sora, an open-source AI video generation model — both ranked #1 on GitHub Trending globally and released under Apache 2.0. Proprietary innovations include the Video DC-AE deep-compression autoencoder, hierarchical data curation pipeline, and three-stage adaptive training regime, which together enable Open-Sora 2.0 to be trained at approximately $200,000 — 5 to 10 times lower cost than comparable models such as HunyuanVideo and Runway Gen-3 Alpha. The company has demonstrated ability to pre-train privately deployed hundred-billion-parameter models on thousand-card GPU clusters and to deliver validated 8x to 13x inference speedups across enterprise engagements.

The company operates a hybrid business model. The HPC-AI.COM cloud platform offers self-serve, pay-as-you-go access to NVIDIA H200 and B200 GPUs for developers and smaller organizations, while enterprise services — including a Private Enterprise Knowledge Base, Model Development, AI Large Model System Performance Optimization, and Reinforcement Fine-Tuning Technology — are sold through direct sales to Fortune 500 companies and large enterprises. Disclosed customers span at least 11 verticals including Automotive, Technology, Internet, Manufacturing, Energy, Media, and Biopharmaceuticals, with case studies showing engagements such as 8x multimodal inference improvement for a Fortune 500 automotive company and 11x improvement in AlphaFold2-like protein model training/inference for a medical unicorn. Strategic investors include Singtel Innov8 and Sinovation Ventures, with a $50 million Series A closed in October 2024, bringing total disclosed funding to approximately $78 million across three rounds.
