General Compute rents bare-metal servers to cloud companies that sell fast inference to developers, using chips from SambaNova, Positron and Cerebras. A deal with an unnamed large customer worth $100M in annual recurring revenue preceded the raise. The company expects to deploy 75 megawatts of capacity in 2027. (TechCrunch)
