Runware, an AI infrastructure firm, announced plans to build a factory that will assemble its Sonic Inference Pods on a production line, aiming for 30 megawatts of data‑center capacity per day by 2028.
Key points
- Runware plans factory to assemble Sonic pods at 30 MW/day by 2028
- Company has raised $60 M, $50 M Series A, plans Series B
- Pods can be built in 1 day, 48 h online, 20 MW committed interest
The company already operates two factories, one of which will be finished early next year. It claims pod build time will drop from three weeks to one day, with installation and set‑up completed within 48 hours. Customers can rent compute or supply GPUs, paying a monthly fee for the pods and operations.
Runware has raised more than $60 million to date, including a $50 million Series A last December, and says it has received $1 billion in committed interest for its pods, representing over 20 megawatts of capacity.
