Perplexity and IREN: Powering Fast, Trustworthy AI at Scale

Perplexity, the AI company built on the foundation of accuracy, is partnering with IREN to run AI workloads on IREN AI Cloud. Under a multi-year agreement, Perplexity will access NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs at an IREN data center campus.

More than 50,000 organizations use Perplexity for accurate research-grounded AI. Perplexity Computer takes complex projects from a single request to a finished result, coordinating agents that research, code and create. Both products draw on models from multiple providers, with Computer matching each task to the model best suited to the job.

As these advances drive broader adoption and increasingly complex workloads, AI demand is outpacing the physical infrastructure needed to support it. IREN’s vertically integrated AI Cloud is built to close that gap, delivering the capacity and consistent performance to power the most demanding AI workloads at scale.

“A core part of our strategy is making full outcomes more reliable and affordable ” said Nate Kupp, VP of Engineering at Perplexity. “Every efficiency gain, from new models to new chips, should show up as better outputs at lower cost. Dedicated compute is one element of making that possible, and we're excited to work with IREN as we invest in the next phase of Perplexity's growth.”

“Perplexity’s unique advantage is that every advance in AI, from new models to new chips, turns into a better answer for its users,” said Tim Delcourt, Commercial Director, AI Cloud at IREN. “At IREN, our job is to keep capacity ahead of AI ambition. Owning and operating our infrastructure end to end gives us the control to bring capacity online reliably, drive greater efficiency and give our customers the confidence to scale.”

IREN gives technology leaders the data centers, compute and software to build what's next in AI. With 5GW of grid-connected power worldwide, IREN controls the full path from power to production, giving builders the scale, visibility and control their most demanding workloads require.
