Recogni and DataVolt Partner to Deliver the World's Most Energy-Efficient AI Cloud Infrastructure

SAN JOSE, Calif. and RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Recogni Inc., the Generative AI Inference systems company, and DataVolt, the sustainable AI-cloud innovator, are teaming up to build the most energy-efficient AI cloud on the planet. Recogni and DataVolt share a commitment to delivering high-performance, energy-efficient AI cloud solutions at scale. This partnership presents a unique opportunity to drive innovation in next-generation AI cloud compute, while advancing environmentally sustainable infrastructure. 

Recogni's inference system leverages AI logarithmic math on purpose-built silicon and networking to set new standards in energy efficiency and performance, making it an ideal fit for DataVolt's cost/environmentally friendly energy-optimized AI infrastructure. 

Why it matters

At the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum, DataVolt signed a $20 billion agreement, marking a significant milestone in the company's commitment to advancing AI and data center infrastructure. As part of the heterogeneous compute strategy, DataVolt is partnering with Recogni to integrate Recogni's low-power inference systems to power its next-generation AI data centers. This collaboration aims to support deploying some of the world's densest and most energy-efficient AI compute clusters, reinforcing strategic technology ties between the two nations.

Deal details

• Early Access Partner: DataVolt has agreed to purchase Recogni's inference systems for evaluation prior to production.
• Peak Efficiency: Recogni's purpose-built silicon pairs log-math acceleration with low power silicon to eliminate energy bottlenecks and deliver the lowest $/FLOP compute available.
• Cloud Scale: Leveraging DataVolt's low cost of energy and global reach, the partnership is poised to deliver a disruptive new multi-model inference service with no trade-off between power and performance.

Bigger picture

This partnership unites U.S. silicon innovation with Saudi green-energy scale, advancing shared goals of energy security, digital-economy growth, and sustainable AI infrastructure.

"With DataVolt we will provide fast and accurate AI that is also economical and energy efficient. This partnership will supercharge AI adoption worldwide," said Marc Bolitho, CEO of Recogni.

"Democratizing access for the Global South to compute and offering the lowest all-in cost of compute have been DataVolt's founding philosophy and guiding vision. I am excited about this partnership with Recogni which will give us a decisive edge in performance-per-watt which will make all the difference in democratizing AI," added Rajit Nanda, CEO of DataVolt.
