Sonic Inference Pods

Modular AI inference. Up to 10× lower cost.

0:00

100× cheaper buildout vs traditional data centers.

Located closer to your users for faster inference times.

Runs any GPU architecture, ready for whatever ships next.

Consumed as serverless inference, metered by the second.

The cloud was never built for AI inference. Every AI app today runs on a pile of compromises: general-purpose GPU clusters run inefficiently in data centers designed for a different era.

So we rebuilt the stack.

Traditional data center

40–60%

Wasted on the wrong infrastructure

Most AI today runs on infrastructure built for websites, databases and cloud workloads. AI inference doesn't care where it runs: the same request returns the same result from anywhere. Yet you still pay for backup systems, overbuilt redundancy, permits and huge setup costs.

Sonic Inference Pods

Saved when everything is modular

A modular pod carries none of that overhead: no oversized buildings, no backup systems, no years of sunk cost. Every component inside exists to serve inference, so you pay for compute throughput, not infrastructure overhead.

Traditional data center

1/3

Of the power goes to cooling

In a typical data center around a third of the electricity is spent on cooling, power conversion, distribution and other building systems rather than compute. Global data-center electricity consumption is projected to roughly double by 2030.

Sonic Inference Pods

95%

Power efficiency with custom cooling

A custom closed-loop water system combined with dry cooling holds temperature steady within 2°C under sustained load. Less energy spent on cooling, more reaching the GPUs: more inference from every watt.

Traditional data center

560B L

Of water consumed every year

Globally, data centers use over 560 billion liters of water a year, much of it lost to evaporative cooling. Loud, wasteful and increasingly unsustainable.

Sonic Inference Pods

1.5

Recirculated, never consumed

A sealed, closed-loop system recirculates the same 1.5 cubic meters of water continuously. No water consumption, no wastewater, no pollution. And it runs quiet.

Traditional data center

3–5 yr

To build a traditional data center

Years of land, permits and construction. Billion-dollar projects that may never be completed, with redundancy overbuilt into every site. All of it expensive to operate, and all of it ends up in your inflated inference cost.

Sonic Inference Pods

Days

To deploy a Sonic Inference Pod

Fully modular, with an average build time of 3 weeks and new units deployable in days. No land grab, no construction: redundancy comes from a distributed network of pods rather than overbuilding each site.

30–90%lower inference prices. Purpose-built modular infrastructure costs far less to build and run, and those savings are passed straight on to you.

Liquid Cooling

A water block on every processor

CPUs and GPUs are directly liquid cooled, each with its own water block. Better thermal performance means every processor runs at full speed, all the time.

Dry Coolers

Closed loop, zero water waste

Heat leaves through a sealed loop, so the pod draws no water, wastes nothing, and stays quiet enough to sit almost anywhere.

First wave of pods online in H2. Capacity is filling up rapidly.

From one pod to one gigawatt by 2027.

Sonic Inference Pods are production-ready, the first deployments are underway, and we are entering the rollout phase of what we believe will become one of the world's largest distributed AI inference networks.
