What Clarifai does
Clarifai is an enterprise AI infrastructure platform focused on deploying and running foundation models and custom models with compute orchestration, governance, and operational tooling. The company’s platform is organized around building and managing AI workloads end-to-end, including dataset/model workflows and production inference, with features intended to simplify routing, scaling, and cost monitoring for organizations that need reliable model execution in production. Clarifai’s documentation describes core user journeys including compute deployment/inference, control/governance, and model/data creation & management.
As of 2026-08-23, Clarifai is no longer operating as an independent company; Nebius states it is licensing Clarifai’s AI inference and compute orchestration IP and has integrated Clarifai’s “core engineering and research talent,” while Nebius also states it will acquire Clarifai’s patent portfolio covering AI inference and compute orchestration technologies. The Nebius announcement positions Clarifai primarily as part of Nebius’s broader “Token Factory” / AI cloud strategy (i.e., Clarifai’s technology is embedded into Nebius’s inference platform rather than sold as a standalone startup offering).
