Clarifai provides a full-stack AI platform that allows developers and machine learning engineers to create and implement AI models for a variety of applications. The platform is designed for speed and efficiency, making it a popular choice among developers. Users can build applications that generate content, analyze images and videos, and make data-driven decisions. If the existing models do not fit their needs, users have the option to train their own models. Clarifai operates on a business-to-business (B2B) model, catering to clients from different industries that require AI and machine learning solutions. The company earns revenue by charging businesses for access to its platform and services, with pricing based on usage and model complexity. Additionally, the platform features an AI Lake, which helps users manage their AI applications, upload data, and organize it for model training and testing, enhancing overall usability and efficiency.

↑ 4%Clarifai's Full-Stack AI Platform Enabling Next AI Frontier of Model InferencingWASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarifai , a global leader in AI and pioneer of the full-stack AI platform, today announced that several distilled versions of DeepSeek models are available on the Clarifai platform and users can try them for free for a limited time.The open source DeepSeek models on the platform are not the one that's been put to the test against a highly-touted OpenAI model, but they nonetheless mark the beginning of a new frontier in AI that users will no doubt rush to explore.The DeepSeek models, from the Chinese startup by the same name, focus on "inference-time computing," a technique that emphasizes multi-step reasoning and iterative refinement during the inference process to generate more accurate and contextually relevant responses. This approach reduces the massive computational costs when compared with other leading AI models, improves efficiency during model training time, and shifts the computational bottleneck from training to inference.To deploy such models efficiently, companies need tools that scale with their needs so that inference doesn't become a bottleneck. Clarifai's Inference Compute Orchestration provides the infrastructure to harness the full potential of this wave of AI."The DeepSeek models highlight the importance of optimized model inferencing as the new frontier in AI and underscore the need for tools that can optimize inference at scale," said Matt Zeiler, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Clarifai. "Clarifai's Inference Compute Orchestration addresses this need, offering a unified platform to manage and deploy all AI models efficiently, including open source ones like DeepSeek—on every cloud, on-premise, or on edge devices with the same set of tools."In addition, the fact that such powerful DeepSeek models are built with open source software, meaning anyone can use and contribute to them, innovations will move faster than if the models were owned by this or that company, like so many others.Clarifai's Compute Orchestration will help organizations navigate the model inferencing era with:Optimized Inference: GPU fractioning packs multiple models on the same GPU, and traffic-based autoscaling rises and drops with traffic, reducing costs without sacrificing performance.GPU fractioning packs multiple models on the same GPU, and traffic-based autoscaling rises and drops with traffic, reducing costs without sacrificing performance.
