Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • CoreWeave enhances Mission Control with new tools for visibility, reliability and troubleshooting.
  • Telemetry Relay, GPU Straggler Detection and a new assistant deepen observability and performance insight.
  • CoreWeave trims its 2025 revenue view due to supply constraints and data-center delivery delays.

CoreWeave, Inc. ((CRWV - Free Report) ) continues to strengthen its position in the high-performance AI cloud market with the recent expansion of Mission Control, its unified operational standard, harnessed by enterprise tech teams to power large-scale, production-grade AI workloads. With the latest capabilities, including Telemetry Relay, GPU Straggler Detection, and Mission Control Agent, it represents a significant upgrade for enterprises that require deep observability, systematic troubleshooting, and robust compliance controls.

Mission Control is central to CoreWeave’s AI Cloud platform, managing GPU fleets, performance metrics, access events and overall system behavior. The latest Mission Control update introduces essential tools to enhance visibility, reliability and troubleshooting for enterprise AI workloads. Telemetry Relay now streams CoreWeave audit and access logs directly into customers’ SIEM or observability systems with dependable support for multiple destinations. GPU Straggler Detection identifies performance bottlenecks in distributed training by pinpointing the specific GPU or node causing delays, seamlessly integrating with existing monitoring tools, backed by NVIDIA Collective Communications Library signals with rich labels for correlation.

In addition, the new Mission Control Agent features a conversational assistant that provides real-time insights, helping teams interpret system behavior, diagnose issues swiftly and turn complex telemetry into clear, actionable guidance. Furthermore, CRWV is gaining strong enterprise traction, with CrowdStrike using CoreWeave for AI cybersecurity agents and Rakuten leveraging the platform to enhance its visual language models. The company also expanded with major customers, including a top software design platform and a large U.S. telco.

However, it remains heavily supply-constrained, with demand outpacing available capacity and data-center delivery delays expected to weigh on upcoming results. Though temporary, these issues led management to cut its 2025 revenue view to $5.05–$5.15 billion from $5.15–$5.35 billion, and adjusted operating income to the range of $690–$720 million from $800–$830 million. Competition from major players like Microsoft ((MSFT - Free Report) ) and emerging AI players like Nebius Group N.V. ((NBIS - Free Report) ) also adds pressure, as the entire sector faces similar supply bottlenecks amid surging enterprise AI demand.

How CRWV’s Main Competitors Stack Up in AI?

Microsoft is capitalizing on AI business momentum fueled by strong Copilot adoption and the rapid expansion of its Azure cloud infrastructure. It plans to increase total AI capacity by more than 80% in 2025 and roughly double the total data center footprint over the next two years. For the fiscal second quarter, MSFT expects Azure revenue to grow about 37% in constant currency, as demand continues to far exceed available capacity. Even with accelerated build-outs, Microsoft now anticipates being capacity-constrained through the end of its fiscal year. However, revenues are expected in the $79.5-$80.6 billion band, implying growth of 14% to 16% driven by solid AI platform adoption and record cloud bookings.

To reach larger enterprise customers, Nebius has launched its enterprise-ready cloud platform, Aether 3.0, and its new inference platform, Nebius Token Factory. With more software and services in development and strong demand, NBIS targets to reach $7–$9 billion in ARR by the end of 2026. Also, its mega-deals with Microsoft and Meta are expected to begin contributing late in the fourth quarter, with the majority of related revenue ramping up throughout 2026. Nebius has improved its 2025 revenue outlook to a range of $500-$550 million from $450-$630 million. However, capacity remains its biggest constraint, with each deployment selling out instantly and demand far outpacing supply. Near-term power and supply-chain limits will likely continue to restrict meaningful expansion.
