CoreWeave: Surfing on the AI Hype Wave

CoreWho? Previously Unknown, Now in the Spotlight Thanks to AI

A couple of months ago, CoreWeave was just another faceless company in the ocean of forgettable startups. Wow. But hooray, thanks to the insufferable AI craze, it’s finally been dragged out of obscurity. Disappointing really, they were much easier to ignore before.

Possible implications of the technology

It’s cute watching CoreWeave ride the coattails of the generative AI trend. Of course, as the face of innovative, groundbreaking technology, they’ll make cloud services easier for AI-focused companies to use. How amazing. This might even mean there would be more widespread availability of scalable, efficient computing resources. But let’s be honest, how effing predictable. For the established giants though, they now have pointless new competition to out-perform.

A Predictable Success? My Take on CoreWeave’s Rise

So essentially, in the grand scheme of things, it’s like a technology parasite has found a host in the form of a booming trend. CoreWeave has literally made a name for itself by jumping on a bandwagon that was already gaining speed. Predictable, and a tad boring really. What’s lesser known is what happens when the AI trend starts to wane — as all trends do. Will CoreWeave be able to stand on its own two feet, or will it slither back into obscurity quicker than you can say “ephemeral interest”? Only time will tell. But really, who cares?
