AI infrastructure company Runware announced the launch of its modular data center, the Sonic Inference Pod, a transportable unit designed to offer more flexible compute alongside hyperscaler data centers. Runware claims the Pod delivers higher quality inference at lower cost than other serverless platforms, and its modular design allows rapid capacity expansion without expanding fixed data centers. Co-founder and CEO Flaviu Radulescu said distributed compute closer to end users will win in the long term. The Pod uses a closed-loop cooling system, requires no water, and can be built in days compared to months or years for traditional data centers.
