Dell Technologies Inc. DELL inked a pact worth $150 million with AI startup Imbue to build a new high-performance computing cluster for training foundation models optimized for reasoning.

"Dell technology will provide Imbue with the powerful engine to help unearth the next generation of impactful AI innovation," said Jeff Boudreau, chief AI officer at Dell Technologies.

Imbue raised $200 million in a recent funding round from firms, including NVIDIA Corporation NVDA, according to a news report by Bloomberg.

Imbue is already using the cluster – powered by Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers with NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs – to train AI models and develop early prototype agents that can correct bugs in code and analyze lengthy documents. 

"Building a new generation of foundation models requires the very best IT infrastructure, and Dell Technologies has helped us deploy a custom cluster much more quickly than other providers could have," said Josh Albrecht, chief technology officer of Imbue. 

"Dell has been an invaluable collaborator as we pursue our work to create AI systems with much stronger reasoning abilities."
