WEKA

💥 Epic WEKA updates coming out of NVIDIA #GTC25! 1️⃣ WEKA is integrating with the newly unveiled NVIDIA AI Data Platform to provide optimized AI infrastructure for the future of agentic AI and reasoning models. 2️⃣ We've unveiled WEKA Augmented Memory Grid— a revolutionary new capability that integrates with NVIDIA to accelerate AI inference, maximize the number of tokens processed per second, and dramatically increase token efficiency. 3️⃣ Finally, WEKA has achieved certification as a high-performance data store for NVIDIA GB200 deployments, supporting NVIDIA Cloud Partners (NCP). There’s a lot to get caught up on, so get started with a full breakdown of all the WEKA news: https://weka.ly/3XZGRC1 Yotta Data Services Private Limited | Together AI

⚡ Scaling LLMs isn’t just about GPUs — it’s about eliminating the data and I/O bottlenecks that starve them. WEKA customer Cohere is pushing the boundaries of enterprise-grade AI with massive models and demanding performance requirements. The WEKA Data Platform delivers the throughput, concurrency, and low latency they need to train faster, iterate more efficiently, and operate at scale. By extending the memory hierarchy and optimizing the entire data pipeline, WEKA helps Cohere unlock sustained GPU utilization and faster time-to-insight. 🔗 https://weka.ly/4mJKE15

We are thrilled to welcome Mike Bush to @WEKA as our new Sales Director in the West! Mike brings deep experience leading teams and helping customers transform with modern data platforms—drawing on decades of success at IBM, NetApp, and more recently, Hitachi Vantara. With his track record of building trusted customer relationships and delivering results, we’re incredibly excited to have him on board. WEKA Liran ZvibelAmit Pandey Mike Bush

🌈 Pride Month is a time to reflect, honor, and amplify. At WEKA, we’re proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ community – this month and every month – to support the ongoing journey toward equity, inclusion, and acceptance. Thank you to the changemakers, advocates, and allies helping build a better future for tech and beyond. Happy Pride!

⚡ Inference speed is capped by how fast your infrastructure can deliver tokens to your GPUs. We just open-sourced the GPUDirect Storage (GDS) integration used in WEKA’s Augmented Memory Grid — and it’s now available for vLLM and LMCache frameworks, ready for you to contribute. This is the same component we use to deliver high-throughput, low-latency token caching to eliminate redundant compute during inference. The integration connects inference servers directly to a memory-class token warehouse, unlocking time-to-first-token (TTFT) and throughput gains that legacy architectures can’t match. We’ve also launched a #WEKA-GDS-Integration channel in the vLLM Slack so you can join the conversation. See for yourself: Run your own benchmarks and learn how infrastructure purpose-built for AI can shift what’s possible. 🔗 https://weka.ly/3Fyjj1a

🚀 From 39 seconds to 2 seconds - that's what happens when AI meets the fastest storage in the cloud. New performance validation with Oracle demonstrates how the WEKA Data Platform accelerates AI workloads in the cloud. Our joint testing on OCI H100 GPU clusters achieved 269 GiB/s aggregate storage throughput and 20x faster Time to First Token performance for large language models. The breakthrough: our Augmented Memory Grid eliminates token re-computation waste by creating a high-speed token warehouse that scales to exabyte levels. At 128K context windows, Time to First Token dropped from 39 seconds to just 2 seconds - transforming AI applications from unusable to real-time responsive. This validation proves that storage performance is no longer a constraint for enterprise AI initiatives. The WEKA Data Platform delivers the speed, scale, and cost optimization that modern AI workloads demand.

🔧 The AI revolution won’t run on yesterday’s infrastructure. As models grow in size, complexity, and importance, the need for performance-optimized, AI-native data platforms is more critical than ever. That’s why WEKA is excited to sponsor World Summit AI USA in San Francisco June 18–19, helping drive the conversation among top minds in the industry on how modern infrastructure can unlock new frontiers in AI innovation. Use code WEKA20 for 20% off your registration and let’s connect at #WSAIUSA. 🔗 https://weka.ly/3SWkiv4

🚀 AI is pushing infrastructure to its limits — and WEKA is built to keep up. As models grow more complex and context windows expand, traditional architectures are struggling to deliver the performance AI workloads demand. Join us at NVIDIA #GTCParis 2025 from June 10–12, where we’ll showcase how the WEKA Data Platform integrates seamlessly with NVIDIA’s latest technologies to eliminate data bottlenecks, maximize GPU utilization, and drive next-gen AI and ML performance at scale. If your infrastructure is holding back your AI initiatives, this is the conversation for you. Schedule a meeting and let’s get started. 🔗 https://weka.ly/45zvOnN
