Search every verified Michael Intrator interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Michael Intrator, co-founder, president, CEO, and chairman of CoreWeave, has been active in promoting the company's expansion and new product offerings. In October 2026, he hosted CoreWeave's first global user conference, Fully Connected 2026, in San Francisco, where the company launched CoreWeave Forge, a suite of development tools designed to help clients train and improve AI models. At the conference, Intrator also participated in a "Hot Ones" interview segment. Earlier that month, he announced an agreement to build a data center in India with 360 megawatts of capacity, with the first phase of 40 megawatts expected to begin in mid-2028. He described the demand for AI infrastructure as overwhelming, stating that the company is "largely sold out" for several years. In media appearances, Intrator has discussed the longevity of older GPU generations, saying that CoreWeave contracted its A100 GPUs, a 2020 architecture, through 2029 at "full freight." He attributed this to the value of the infrastructure for various use cases, including physical AI and batch computing. He has also addressed the relationship between falling token costs and rising compute demand, citing Jevons paradox, and emphasized the importance of maintaining the United States' lead in AI, describing it as a "battleground" with China. Regarding regulations on data centers, he stated they would not reduce demand, and on interest rates, he said that CoreWeave's margins are expanding faster than rates are rising.

Notable quotes

“When you start out, you just kind of think of it as, oh, I'm gonna raise money. But the truth is that's not how it works, right? You raise money from people who are focused on the specific type of thing that you're working on. And you know, an example of that is you wouldn't come to Silicon Valley to raise money to build an apartment building on the lower east side of Manhattan. Like it just wouldn't make sense. So w”

“The key takeaway here is that this is very much a team sport, right? Because markets that are calcified, markets where the marginal difference between one player and another player is much smaller, you know, the competitive environment is such that all of that stuff becomes incremental in nature. That's not where we are right now. That's not where this business is. It's not where the ecosystem is and it won't be ther”

“I think the way you posed the question is correct, right? Like when we built this company, when we started the company, we really focused on what will remain the most challenging and difficult customers, right? It was the frontier labs that were building at an order of magnitude, quite frankly, the world had never seen before. And because we started with a blank sheet on what the company was going to be and how we we”

“China understands deeply throughout the government, throughout their economy, this is the battleground with which they are going to have to contend with the United States from an economic perspective. When so from that perspective, they are and we are, the two leaders of this. The question is we are in front and are we going to do things that are necessary to maintain that lead?”

“The rest of the world understands this is a critical technology that they need to be able to participate in if they are going to be able to participate in the next stage of economic growth that is going to occur around the world. They are looking for partners who have experience. They're looking for partners who have skill sets. They are looking for people that can not only build the infrastructure but are able to pr”

“I think that narrative is misunderstood, deeply misunderstood, actually. Let's kind of bound it, right? The leader in artificial intelligence, it is imperative that we remain at the forefront of artificial intelligence. And so when you're talking about pacing, it's a rather narrow definition of what it is, right? You need to be able to maintain your position at the forefront, but you also need to build guard rails to”
