Voltron Data, a San Francisco, CA-based company accelerating modular and composable data analytics systems, acquired Claypot AI, a San Francisco, California-based real-time AI platform startup.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
Voltron Data processes large batch workloads on GPUs today and will be incorporating Claypot AI’s real-time capabilities on GPU. By acquiring Claypot AI, the company can enable real-time analytics, feature engineering and MLOps capabilities powered by Theseus as well as open source products Apache Arrow, Ibis and Substrait.
Claypot AI was founded in 2022 by CEO Chip Huyen and Zhenzhong Xu.
Led by CEO Josh Patterson, Voltron Data works to design and build composable data systems for enterprises and government agencies. The company recently launched Theseus, an accelerator-native distributed query engine built from the ground up to help companies take advantage of GPUs and full system hardware accelerators such as high bandwidth memory, accelerated networking and storage. Theseus enables both data preprocessing and AI/ML workloads on GPUs which unifies data analytics and AI pipelines on the same infrastructure, while lowering vendor lock-in risk, energy consumption and carbon footprint. Theseus is available to enterprises and government agencies with the largest datasets as well as through partners – HPE is the first partner to embed Theseus as its accelerated data processing engine as part of HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software.
Commenting on the news, Josh Patterson said: “I couldn’t be more excited to bring on Chip Huyen, Zhenzhong Xu and the entire Claypot AI team. Together we’re going to be able to accelerate our real-time and MLOps product roadmap with state-of-the-art features for our customers.”
