General Compute provides an inference cloud for AI models, utilizing specialized hardware like GPUs and ASICs for ultra-fast token generation.

General Compute offers an inference cloud built on alternative chips, combining GPUs for prompt prefill and ASICs for rapid token decoding. The service handles hardware procurement, colocation, cooling, networking, and software, providing either bare metal access or a Transactions Per Second (TPS) Service Level Agreement (SLA). This disaggregated inference approach aims to deliver higher throughput and faster token generation compared to traditional GPU clouds. The company partners with chip manufacturers like Cerebras, SambaNova, Positron AI, and d-Matrix to optimize AI inference performance and cost efficiency. Deployments are scheduled to go live from Q1 2027. General Compute's infrastructure is designed for AI applications requiring high speed and efficiency, such as AI agents and coding tools. They offer dedicated capacity on purpose-built silicon, supporting both open models and private, fine-tuned models with custom pricing based on workload, silicon choice, model type, and contract term.
