Perplexity signed a multiyear deal for dedicated NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPU capacity on the IREN AI cloud platform.

Perplexity has signed a multiyear agreement to secure dedicated NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPU capacity on the IREN AI cloud platform. The deal locks in a specific allocation of compute resources for the company’s operations.
Search and agent-oriented businesses are moving to secure dedicated infrastructure as a way to maintain consistent performance. This type of capacity planning is shifting from a tactical purchasing decision to a strategic commitment, directly tying long-term hardware access to service delivery.
The agreement covers dedicated capacity, meaning the resources are not shared with other customers. For teams in finance, operations, and product development, the structure of the deal signals a direct linkage between infrastructure provisioning and the ability to run computationally intensive workloads without resource contention.
