OMNI Compute is a unified compute marketplace that enables enterprises to access, provision, and operate GPUs across any cloud or region, with no code changes required
MIAMI, January 12, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cast AI, the leading Application Performance Automation platform, today introduced OMNI Compute, a unified compute control plane that automatically discovers available resources across cloud providers and regions and transparently extends existing Kubernetes clusters to consume them. The company also announced a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures (PAV), the U.S.-based corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group, an over $50 billion Korean conglomerate with leading businesses across retail, consumer, and digital platforms. With this round of funding, Cast AI’s valuation exceeds $1 billion.
“Shinsegae Group’s investment, and our over one billion dollar valuation, underscore the market’s confidence in our platform vision and our ability to execute it globally,” said Cast AI Co-Founder and CEO Yuri Frayman. “Enterprises don’t just need cheaper infrastructure – they need infrastructure that adapts automatically as workloads and constraints change. That is what our automation agents were built to do, and this investment helps us scale that globally.”
Cast AI expands its platform with the introduction of OMNI Compute
OMNI Compute connects external capacity, including GPUs, as native compute, allowing workloads to run on the most appropriate resources, locally or across clouds, without code changes, reconfiguration, or operational changes.
It enables organizations to run any workloads, starting with AI inference, without cloud lock-in, while maintaining control over where they execute, to meet compliance and regulatory requirements. Teams can scale services without pinning workloads to a single region or provider, while keeping infrastructure behavior automated, governed, and predictable as demand increases. It applies the same optimization used across the Cast AI platform to this external capacity, including GPU sharing, monitoring, and rightsizing, ensuring AI workloads remain efficient and consistent at scale.
“OMNI Compute makes GPUs fungible at the infrastructure layer so capacity isn’t trapped inside a single cloud or region,” said Cast AI President and Co-Founder Laurent Gil. “Teams can move, allocate, and run production workloads wherever compute is actually available, with control over cost and performance.”
Oracle is one of the cloud providers making GPU capacity available to Cast AI customers through OMNI Compute.
