What company is GMI Cloud?

Founded in 2021, GMI Cloud is headquartered in California, USA. Originally a Bitcoin computing node service provider, it transitioned in 2023 to focus on AI cloud infrastructure, featuring “GPU as a Service” ( GPU-as-a-Service ), providing a one-stop solution for GPU computing power leasing, cluster engines, and inference engines.

GMI Cloud focuses on allowing customers to have complete control over their cloud environment, free from platform constraints. It has partnered with NVIDIA to establish data centers in the United States, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, and Japan, creating a highly stable, low-latency GPU computing platform to support AI model training and inference demands. Over 60% of the GMI Cloud technical team are engineers dedicated to building what they call the “AI Superhighway” system architecture. Financially, the funding is led by Headline Asia, with strategic investments from Banpu and Wistron, and the company completed 82 million USD Series A financing in 2024.
