Peter Salanki, co-founder and CTO of CoreWeave, stated in a June 2026 interview that the company has "over a gigawatt of power live" across approximately 45 data centers, with "a lot more in the pipeline." He described demand as "insatiable" and said the company is "building as fast as we can," adding that it could build "2X to 3X as fast" if possible. Salanki discussed CoreWeave's networking topology, noting that by building parallel networks, the company can constrain switch hops to two levels, which he said keeps latency down and enables efficient communication at scale. He also mentioned that CoreWeave's software layers, including its Kubernetes and Slurm on Kubernetes layers, are "topology aware," allowing customer jobs to automatically take advantage of performance differences between rack-level and cross-rack communication.
