Since our inception in 2018, Crusoe has been on a mission to align the future of computing with the future of the climate. Our dedication to this mission is underpinned by our commitment to building and operating secure computing that our customers can trust and which enables them to achieve their own missions. We understand that conveying trust is inherently difficult, so we continuously look at industry-standard compliance certifications and attestations to demonstrate our progress through independent scrutiny. With that, we are pleased to share a notable compliance milestone – Crusoe Cloud has successfully completed our SOC 2 Type II attestation.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lowercarbon and Crusoe Energy Systems LLC (“Crusoe”), announced today that they are hosting a “Hackathon for Clean Energy” at Crusoe’s San Francisco offices. OpenAI will join and provide credits, technical mentorship and take part in the judging. This 24-hour event beginning Friday afternoon will bring together experts from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and approximately 100 engineers, designers and product leaders to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can help the U.S. bring more clean energy projects online. Secretary of Government Operations for the State of California Amy Tong will also help kick off the event.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a crucial role to play in combating climate change. This powerful, emerging technology is already being applied in a myriad of ways to improve predictions of weather patterns, optimize energy use and enhance energy efficiency, monitor and measure changes in carbon levels, forests and icebergs, and identify sources of pollution among many other use cases. Not only can these solutions help to mitigate the effects of climate change, they can also help to save and improve lives.

In this blog, we’ll show you how to quickly and cheaply test out the latest model from Databricks, DBRX-Instruct, a massive MoE that measures in at 36B active parameters and 132B total parameters. With open-source models becoming larger and larger (the largest Llama3 clocking in at 405B parameters), the challenge and costs to run are even more pronounced. Luckily, we can easily run distributed inference at high-performance on low-cost NVIDIA L40S instances with Crusoe Cloud. An L40S.8x instance is ~$10/hour (as opposed to an H100.8x which can cost $37.60/hr). For fast experimentation, we care mostly about $/hour and developer time. Please reference the GitHub tutorial for the complete code accompanying this tutorial.
