Sustainable Metal Cloud ranks among world’s top GPU clouds by SemiAnalysis

SINGAPORE - At Firmus Technologies, we're proud to announce that Sustainable Metal Cloud (SMC) has been recognized by analyst firm SemiAnalysis as one of the top-performing GPU cloud platforms globally, ranking alongside established hyperscalers AWS and above Google Cloud.

In the first-ever ClusterMAX™ GPU Cloud Ratings, SMC was named one of only three GPU providers worldwide to have correctly implemented InfiniBand SHARP in-network reduction. This technically complex performance enhancement dramatically boosts throughput for AI workloads.

"It's fantastic to see SMC by Firmus put to the test and come out ahead of the global pack," said Tim Rosenfield, our Co-CEO. "The industry is evolving fast - and it's great to be recognised for staying ahead of the curve. We've invested heavily in the infrastructure that matters: scalable, liquid, energy-efficient systems that deliver real outcomes for our customers."

Our high-performance reputation is built on our proprietary AI Factory architecture, designed for maximum compute per watt and developed entirely for AI-native scale. This innovation leads to maximum watts to flop and the lowest cost profile for ultimate customer benefit.

"We are a pure AI Factory builder," said Dr. Daniel Kearney, our CTO. "Based in Singapore, everything we do is focused on optimising FLOPs per watt—delivering the most compute from the least energy. That's not just a sustainability win, it's another demonstration of our capability to operate the most cost-performant compute infrastructure. Our holistic approach to AI Factory development and the underpinning architecture is tuned to maximizing computation value for our customers. Developed right here in Singapore, it’s the future of AI Infrastructure."

This latest recognition follows our win at the 2024 DCD Asia Pacific Awards, where we took home the prize for Best Data Centre Infrastructure Deployment. The combination of industry-leading performance benchmarks and global customer adoption shows that our AI Factory model delivers measurable value—at speed and scale.
