CoreWeaveは、自動車、航空宇宙、ロボティクスなどのエンジニアリングチームがAIをエンジニアリングライフサイクル全体で構築、検証、展開できるよう支援する新サービス「フィジカルAIフィールドエンジニアリング」を開始した。この戦略は、CoreWeaveによるMonolith AI買収で得た専門知識を基盤としており、自動車、航空宇宙、ロボティクス分野における100件を超えるエンジニアリングプロジェクトに及ぶ。対象領域は4つで、AIに適したエンジニアリング課題の特定、課題解決のためのGPU、ストレージ、シミュレーション基盤の提供、実世界のエンジニアリングデータを予測モデルへ変換すること、そしてエージェント型AIを用いて洞察を行動に変えることである。各案件では、CoreWeaveの基盤上に構築され、顧客自身のデータを用いた、実用的なAIアプリケーション、最適化ツール、ダッシュボードを顧客のワークフロー内に直接提供する。競争は依然として激しく、マイクロソフトのAzureのようなハイパースケーラーは巨額の資金力と世界的なインフラ網を有し、Nebius Group N.V.のような専門プロバイダーも同じ顧客を巡って競合している。Nebiusは最近、AIネイティブなクラウド基盤のためにPalantirと提携し、2026年末までに接続電力容量がおよそ800メガワットから1ギガワットに達すると見込んでいる。CoreWeaveの株価は年初来で24.4%上昇しており、インターネットソフトウェア業界の0.6%下落と対照的である。一方、ザックスコンセンサス予想の今年度利益は過去60日間で下方修正されており、CRWVのザックスランクは現在3(ホールド)である。
