Your partner in the dawn of the intelligence age.

We’re turning AI potential into commercial reality, fast.

AI has the potential to completely change the world, but realizing this potential alone requires significant expertise in hardware, AI software, large budgets, and data center operational expertise. For any company, this is daunting, and for most, it is too great a task or too risky to pursue at scale, alone.

However, ‘kicking the can down the road’ on AI deployment at scale is no longer a safe strategy, as AI deployments are exiting the early adopter phase and entering the early majority phase. This means that by failing to deploy AI, organizations will quickly fall behind their rivals.

BlueSky Compute is solving this growing need. Our team of of engineers leverages their decades of experience running data centers, deploying AI, and optimizing compute for some of the most advanced organizations in the world, and brings all this expertise to bear for our client partners.

The world is changing, and the pace of development will completely re-order markets, just as the internet did, and the industrial revolution did before that. BlueSky is your AI implementation partner to ensure that the world doesn’t change without your organization at the forefront.

Practically, this means that BlueSky will directly support you in achieving breakthroughs. We are passionate about the incredible outcomes that AI can power, from life sciences, to quantitative finance, manufacturing, aerospace, and much more, and we are driven to help you realize outcomes that change the world.

Our Wenatchee, WA based data centers are run 100% hydroelectric power. BlueSky Compute is leading the change to build clean AI data centers in harmony with nature.
