Argentum AI, a Chicago-based artificial-intelligence infrastructure provider, said on Thursday it is expanding its global AI Factory platform and appointing new executives to scale GPU-based compute capacity.
The company, founded by CEO Andrew Sobko, will add leadership across engineering, infrastructure and capital markets as it ramps facilities capable of supporting thousands of GPUs and hundreds of megawatts of power. Argentum’s infrastructure combines hyperscale AI compute, power delivery, networking, software and institutional capital into a single platform.
Argentum offers three deployment models: Hardware-as-a-Service, where commissioned GPU clusters are racked, powered and delivered production-ready; Bare-Metal-as-a-Service, providing managed compute environments with GPU operations, monitoring and enterprise service levels; and Platform-as-a-Service, which includes Kubernetes, compute scheduling and managed application infrastructure.
Sobko said the next decade will shift focus from competing for AI researchers to competing for professionals who can physically build scalable intelligence systems. “That means power engineers, cloud architects, GPU infrastructure experts, capital markets leaders and operators capable of turning billions of dollars of equipment into production compute.”
He added that AI has brought computing back to physical realities, requiring power plants, transformers, cooling systems, networking and large capital investments. “The cloud is becoming physical again,” Sobko said. “Our opportunity is to take all of that physical complexity and turn it back into something simple for the customer: compute.”
The appointments include Nik Entwistle as Chief Marketing Officer, whose email is listed as nik@argentum-ai.com.
