Empowering Developers to “Dream Bigger” on Crusoe Cloud
The Challenge
Codeium has quickly established itself as the AI code assistant platform that developers love and enterprises trust. Developed by a team of passionate researchers and engineers, its world-class deep learning algorithms provide developers, startups, and enterprises with the ability to accelerate their software development dramatically and “Dream Bigger”.
When Codeium introduced its first product in October 2022, the response was immediate and overwhelming. Developers flocked to the service, driving exponential growth that quickly strained the company's existing infrastructure. As demand continued to surge, Codeium faced a critical challenge: securing reliable, cost-effective GPU infrastructure that could scale with their rapidly growing needs. Traditional cloud providers quoted prices that would have significantly impacted their unit economics and ability to scale.
The Solution
Codeium turned to Crusoe Cloud for their GPU infrastructure needs. The partnership provided immediate access to NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs at half the cost of traditional hyperscalers. Because of Crusoe Cloud’s streamlined onboarding experience, Codeium was able to get up and running within one day. In fact, a recent SemiAnalysis report claims that Crusoe’s VMs can boot up in less than 90 seconds and set the “gold standard” for GPU scaling.
Beyond the speed and cost advantages, Crusoe Cloud's infrastructure proved exceptionally reliable, maintaining the high availability that Codeium's enterprise customers demand.
"Codeium's NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs on Crusoe have been incredibly reliable with a cluster uptime of 99.98%," notes Varun Mohan, CEO & co-founder of Codeium. "This reliability, combined with the significant cost savings, has enabled us to scale our infrastructure confidently while maintaining healthy unit economics."
The Results
The partnership with Crusoe Cloud has enabled Codeium to:
Scale their infrastructure efficiently to support over 800,000 active developers at some of the biggest companies in the world.
Maintain exceptional service reliability with 99.98% cluster uptime
Achieve 50% cost savings compared to traditional cloud providers
Accelerate the deployment of new features and capabilities
Crusoe Cloud’s reliable AI infrastructure platform has empowered Codeium to continue pushing the boundaries of AI-powered development. The company recently introduced Windsurf, their AI-native IDE experience that additionally comes with Cascade, a collaborative agent that maximizes developer flow state by performing multi-step reasoning and multi-file edits. In roughly a month, Windsurf hit over 100,000 weekly active users, making it one of the fastest growing AI tools for software development of all time.
Looking Ahead
As AI becomes more ubiquitous in software development, the market opportunity for AI-powered coding assistance continues to expand. Codeium's partnership with Crusoe Cloud positions them to capture this opportunity by:
Scaling infrastructure efficiently to meet growing demand
Maintaining competitive pricing through optimized infrastructure costs
Accelerating the development and deployment of new AI-powered features
Supporting enterprise customers with reliable, high-performance computing resources
The collaboration between Crusoe and Codeium exemplifies how a purpose-built AI cloud infrastructure enables product innovation. As the AI landscape evolves at unprecedented speed, this partnership demonstrates how companies can work together to deliver cutting-edge solutions while maintaining the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness that enterprises demand.
