SINGAPORE, June 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitdeer AI, part of Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) and a preferred NVIDIA Cloud Partner, today announced it has been the winner of “AI Cloud Platform of the Year” in 2026 AI Breakthrough Awards. The award is presented by AI Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global AI market today. The prestigious accolade recognizes Bitdeer AI’s architectural breakthrough in delivering a fully integrated, full-stack AI cloud environment optimized for enterprise-scale generative AI and production workloads.

As enterprises transition from localized AI experimentation to global production, traditional cloud architectures are fracturing under the weight of fragmented workflows, capacity shortages, and volatile pricing. Bitdeer AI solves these structural challenges through a fundamentally different approach: a vertically integrated 'AI Factory' model. By owning and operating its high-performance data center infrastructure, Bitdeer AI eliminates third-party dependencies, optimizing performance directly from the physical facility and silicon level up through the core application software.

This ground-up ownership unlocks a highly unified, high-velocity software ecosystem. The Bitdeer AI cloud platform removes the friction of traditional deployment by bridging the entire AI lifecycle into a singular environment, spanning distributed training, multi-cluster scheduling, an expansive optimized model library, and serverless inference APIs.

By operating a completely integrated stack, Bitdeer AI delivers distinct enterprise advantages that redefine the AI cloud category:

• Seamless Workflow Velocity: Eliminates the need to stitch together fragmented services, allowing organizations to move from raw data to fine-tuning and sustained inference within a single, cohesive platform.
• Uncompromised Flexibility & Control: Grants developers granular control over their compute environments, offering a seamless choice between Bare Metal instances for maximum raw performance or Virtual Machines (VMs) for rapid, elastic scaling.
• Structural Cost Stability: By eliminating the margins associated with third-party infrastructure hosting, Bitdeer AI passes unprecedented price-performance leadership and transparent cost structures directly to users.
• Deep Silicon Optimization: As a preferred NVIDIA Cloud Partner, Bitdeer AI deeply integrates NVIDIA’s hardware and enterprise software stack. Controlling the physical data center allows Bitdeer AI to optimize power density and cooling specifically for next-generation NVIDIA architectures, granting clients guaranteed capacity and day-0 access to the latest software and model capabilities.

'Bitdeer AI has built one of the most complete and capable full-stack AI cloud platforms available today, combining high-performance GPU infrastructure with an enterprise-ready AI development environment,' said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, AI Breakthrough.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from AI Breakthrough for the second consecutive year,” said Retainna Lin, VP of Bitdeer AI Cloud. “The winners of the next era of AI will be determined by execution speed and infrastructure reliability. At Bitdeer AI, we have engineered a full-stack cloud platform that compresses the journey from raw GPU compute to live production. We are building the foundational operating layer for global AI deployment.”

Looking ahead, as the AI landscape shifts from experimentation into a mature phase defined by global production, Bitdeer AI is positioned to serve as the industry's foundational architecture. Moving forward, the company is executing on a multi-phase strategy to scale its unified cloud ecosystem globally—expanding its footprint of sustainable, proprietary 'AI Factories' to meet regional growth and strict data residency requirements, deepening its integration with NVIDIA to support next-generation architectures alongside day-0 model and software releases, and continuously evolving its platform features into the definitive, full-stack operating layer for enterprise AI at scale.
