Vultr, which claims to be the world’s largest privately-held cloud computing platform, has teamed up with Music.AI, described as an “Audio Intelligence Platform for Businesses,” to access and accelerate AI training across North America.
Music.AI, founded and led by CEO Geraldo Ramos, launched in December 2023 as a B2B-focused company encompassing a number of AI tools, ranging from stem separation to voice synthesis and mastering.
Music.AI says that its tools are used by record labels, agencies, technology firms, and developers, and that it serves more than 45 million users worldwide.
The Music.AI team is also behind AI-powered app Moises, founded by Geraldo Ramos, alongside Eddie Hsu, and Jardson Almeida in 2019.
It lets musicians separate their personal tracks into stems (individual voices or instruments), detect chords, shift tempo or pitch. We reported in April 2023 that Moises had raised over $10.25 million to date.
At the time, Moises claimed that its “approach and its remarkable user growth” had “sparked significant B2B interest”. By December, the new Music.AI B2B-focused umbrella company was born.
Music.AI said that Moises continues as its B2C brand “steadfast in its mission to serve musicians, audio engineers, and producers”. Music.AI employs over 80 people Salt Lake City, New York, Europe, and Brazil.
Music.AI says that it launched its “enterprise-grade AI platform” in December 2023 “in response to the growing demand for ethical AI and audio applications in the music industry”.
Built on proprietary AI models, the company says that its platform processes more than 2 million minutes of audio daily, and powers 1,700 applications.
The new collaboration with Vultr is supported by Dell Technologies, which, according to the announcement, will “ensure the infrastructure and capabilities needed to deliver maximum performance and value”.
The collaboration will be powered by Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers with NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs. With NVIDIA H100 GPUs on the Vultr platform, Music.AI says that it can train four times faster than its previous capabilities.
Music.AI says that this accelerated speed is “increasingly important as the AI-powered music and audio applications market continues to mature”.
“We are excited to be collaborating with Vultr and Dell as we pioneer new AI services to revolutionize sound.”

“Music.AI is committed to advancing the adoption of AI music and audio technologies fueled by a new generation of machine learning capabilities. Since its inception, Music.AI has set out to make AI models accessible and establish a foundation for AI and audio innovation,” said Hugo Rodrigues, CTO of Music.AI.
“We are excited to be collaborating with Vultr and Dell as we pioneer new AI services to revolutionize sound.
“With their help, we will grow and scale our enterprise business, delivering state-of-the-art AI solutions for a diverse range of applications such as stem separation and voice timbre modeling.”
“Training is essential for developing AI systems that are accurate, robust, transparent, and capable of tackling real-world scenarios.”

“Training is essential for developing AI systems that are accurate, robust, transparent, and capable of tackling real-world scenarios,” said Kevin Cochrane, CMO of Vultr.
“As a pioneer of AI-powered music and audio, Music.AI needs global access to NVIDIA GPUs so that they can confidently train their AI models. This will well-position them to stay at the forefront of innovation as a leader shaping the future of the music industry.”
