Clarifai announced on May 19, 2026, that Nebius licensed its core engineering and research talent plus AI inference and compute orchestration intellectual property. The deal bolsters Nebius Token Factory as a full-stack inference platform following the recent Eigen AI acquisition, with Clarifai founder Matthew Zeiler joining as SVP Research to lead work on agentic reasoning, multimodal models, and token efficiency. Nebius acquires Clarifai’s patent portfolio covering inference and orchestration while obtaining a non-exclusive perpetual license to the modern stack.
