CoreWeave, Wayve sign multi-year AI cloud deal

CoreWeave has signed a multi-year cloud agreement with UK-based autonomous driving company Wayve to support training of Wayve’s AI Driver. Under the commitment, Wayve will use CoreWeave Cloud as its primary platform for autonomous-driving model training, evaluation and simulation. The arrangement is structured around running Wayve’s AI Driver and end-to-end foundation models on CoreWeave’s infrastructure as the company advances toward commercial deployment for autonomous vehicles.

The deal centers on compute capacity tailored to physical AI workloads. CoreWeave will provide the cloud infrastructure that powers the data-heavy training cycles behind Wayve’s self-driving software, as well as the evaluation and simulation required to validate performance before wider rollout. The agreement positions Wayve as a customer of CoreWeave’s specialized AI cloud over a multi-year horizon.

The new setup for Wayve on CoreWeave Cloud includes Nvidia (NVDA) Blackwell GPUs for model training. These GPUs will be used to run the company’s foundation models that serve as the intelligence layer for its AI Driver. Alongside training, the infrastructure supports evaluation and simulation workloads that are integral to refining autonomous-driving behavior in virtual environments.

CoreWeave describes its AI cloud as purpose-built for workloads such as Wayve’s, which it characterizes as among the more demanding physical AI programs. The combination of high-performance GPUs and integrated training, evaluation and simulation resources is intended to offer a cohesive environment for scaling Wayve’s models.

Wayve previously used Weights & Biases, an AI developer platform aimed at experiment tracking and model development. That platform was acquired by CoreWeave in 2025. Building on this earlier tooling relationship, Wayve has now expanded to adopt CoreWeave Cloud for its broader autonomous-driving model workloads.

With the new agreement, Wayve’s use of CoreWeave extends from development tools into full-scale cloud training and simulation. The AI models trained on this stack are designed to provide the intelligence layer behind driverless taxis and self-driving personal vehicles, reflecting Wayve’s focus on end-to-end autonomous driving software.

CoreWeave has established an operational footprint in the UK that supports customers such as Wayve. The company operates two data centers in the country that came online in January 2025. These facilities contribute to the AI-oriented cloud capacity needed for large-scale model training and inference.

In September 2025, CoreWeave announced plans to invest an additional £1.5 billion in UK AI data center capacity and operations, on top of a prior £1 billion commitment. The planned investment includes a deployment at a DataVita data center in Scotland, further expanding the local infrastructure that can be used to deliver GPU cloud services to clients like Wayve.
