CoreWeave, The Essential Cloud for AI™, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Marimo Inc., the creator of an open-source, AI-native notebook for Python. This strategic move aims to unify the generative AI developer workflow by combining CoreWeave's specialized cloud infrastructure with Marimo's reactive programming environment. The acquisition is designed to accelerate how developers build, scale, and deploy AI applications from initial experimentation to large-scale production.
AI cloud provider CoreWeave is acquiring Marimo, the creator of an open-source marimo notebook.
The acquisition integrates an AI-native, reactive Python environment into the CoreWeave Cloud.
It aims to create a unified developer experience spanning the entire AI lifecycle.
Marimo’s technology will be augmented alongside CoreWeave’s existing Weights & Biases platform.
The marimo open-source project will remain freely available and permissively-licensed.
This follows CoreWeave's recent acquisitions of OpenPipe, Weights & Biases, and Monolith AI.
The integration of Marimo's technology is a key step in CoreWeave's strategy to build a vertically integrated platform for AI development. By bringing Marimo into its ecosystem, CoreWeave can offer a more seamless experience that bridges the gap between interactive prototyping and robust production deployment. This empowers developers to iterate faster and deploy smarter across every stage of the AI lifecycle.
The acquisition is founded on a shared mission to provide best-in-class tools for the AI community. Brian Venturo, co-founder and chief strategy officer of CoreWeave, stated, “This is about supporting the open-source community and unlocking the pace of innovation that modern AI demands. CoreWeave is creating the most complete environment for AI development, from prototype to production, and with Marimo as part of our platform we are giving builders the tools to iterate faster and deploy smarter." Marimo's co-founder and CEO, Akshay Agrawal, echoed this, saying, “We created marimo because we believed that Python developers deserved a dramatically better programming environment for working with data... Joining CoreWeave lets us double down on that vision, and execute on it at an even greater scale."
This acquisition underscores CoreWeave's aggressive expansion in the AI tools space, following its purchases of Weights & Biases and OpenPipe, to consolidate its position as an end-to-end platform for pioneering AI development.
