DataRobot acquires Agnostiq to advance agentic AI development
DataRobot, the provider of AI that makes business sense, is acquiring Agnostiq and its open-source distributed computing platform, Covalent—accelerating agentic AI application development with advanced compute orchestration and optimization.
“Businesses are eager to move into an era of agentic AI, but are limited by siloed infrastructure and tooling. This operational complexity is not sustainable or scalable,” said Debanjan Saha, chief executive officer, DataRobot. “By integrating this acquisition, we are empowering AI teams to intelligently and cost-effectively develop and manage agentic AI across compute environments—delivering tangible results for business.“
This acquisition will rapidly advance agentic AI development with heterogeneous compute orchestration to accelerate AI deployment. Clients will be able to deploy, scale, and manage AI workloads across compute environments in multi-cloud, on-premises, and hybrid configurations, including CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs.
The acquisition allows customers to orchestrate across clusters like run:ai, Slurm, Nomad, and K8s to execute agentic AI applications. And allocate and burst resources dynamically so infrastructure scales to support business needs with the best price-performance.
According to the company, the acquisition will also lead to reduced AI infrastructure complexity and costs.
Users will be able to utilize efficient sharing and partitioning of resources and compute to reduce costs for specialized and large-scale AI workloads.
This allows users to streamline AI tooling without incurring migration costs through a single platform for building, fine-tuning, deploying AI and agentic flows. They can also Configure rules to set up thresholds for cost and latency as well as create a queue of priorities to optimize price and performance tailored to business use cases.
“With Covalent’s advanced compute orchestration, we’re thrilled to become part of DataRobot’s journey, working together to help our communities rapidly build and deploy groundbreaking AI solutions with seamless scalability and efficiency,” said Oktay Goktas, chief executive officer, Agnostiq.
Agnostiq developed Covalent, an industry-leading AI infrastructure management and compute orchestration platform.
Covalent enables organizations to easily scale AI deployments with dynamic resource allocation, save costs through efficient use of infrastructure, and accelerate AI application development with user-friendly infrastructure abstraction.
