Insight Beating AI News Flash: AI data center startup Crusoe has signed a cloud services agreement worth approximately $13 billion with the quantitative trading firm Jane Street Group, with a five-year term. Under the agreement, Crusoe will provide Jane Street with an advanced AI chip cluster (GPU) and other infrastructure required for AI training and inference through its cloud platform.

Jane Street has become one of Crusoe's largest cloud business customers to date. The agreement has also further fueled investor interest in Crusoe's latest funding round. Reports indicate that Crusoe has recently raised over $3 billion, valuing the company at around $30 billion.
