Their core offerings include integrations with technologies such as Ray for distributed inference, CockroachDB for scalable storage, and various machine learning tools such as Milvus and Hugging Face.

This technology serves a broad clientele, including large enterprises leveraging AI in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and retail, with a presence in North America and Europe. The platform’s architecture supports a range of data types, raw, structured, and unstructured, allowing organizations to tailor AI capabilities to their specific needs without compromising data security.

Kamiwaza AI generates its revenue from subscriptions to its platform packages, which include a community edition priced at USD 0 per year for a single GPU or socket, a standard node priced at USD 5,000 per year per GPU or socket, and an enterprise node priced at USD 25,000 per year with unlimited capacity.
