AI infrastructure startup Pipeshift today announced their $2.5 Million seed round. This round was led by Y Combinator and SenseAI Ventures, with additional participation from Arka Venture Labs, Good News Ventures, Nivesha Ventures, Astir VC, GradCapital, and MyAsiaVC. Over 80% of enterprises are turning to open-source AI models. However, the challenge isn’t accessing powerful models, rather it’s deploying them efficiently and securely. Today, companies must stitch together more than 10 different components just to begin deployment, with each optimization requiring thousands of engineering hours. To solve this challenge, launching a new-age Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that enables engineering teams to orchestrate AI workloads across any infrastructure – cloud or on-premises – with unprecedented speed and control.

Unlike existing players who are GPU-brokers offering one-size-fits-all solutions, Pipeshift understands the enterprise need for control and flexibility of infrastructure and offers an end-to-end MLOps stack for enterprises to train, deploy, and scale open-source GenAI models — LLMs, vision models, audio models, and image models — across any cloud or on-prem GPUs. As a result, enterprises can deploy their AI workloads in production faster and more reliably. Additionally, as we see more model and hardware architectures coming into the market, Pipeshift future-proofs infrastructure investments by offering flexibility through their modular MLOps stack that allows enterprises to bring down their GPU infrastructure costs without any additional engineering effort.

In a statement Arko Chattopadhyay, Co-Founder and CEO of Pipeshift said, “2025 marks the year when GenAI transitions into production and engineering teams are witnessing the benefits of using open-source models in-house. This offers high levels of privacy and control alongside enhanced performance and lower costs. However, this is a complex and expensive process involving multiple components being stitched together.” “Pipeshift’s enterprise-grade orchestration platform eradicates the need for such extensive engineering investments by not only simplifying deployment but also maximizing the production throughput.

Swiss multinational Givaudan is planning a $130 million investment that will see it create hundreds of jobs at the former Dow Chemical plant in Reading. Givaudan Flavors Corp., one of the largest manufacturers of flavors and fragrances in the world, intends to build a 100,000-square-foot facility at 2000 West St. to support a new line of business. The 25-acre site on West Street has been vacant since Dow Chemical left in 2014. The new facility is expected to cost $80 million to build and $50 million to outfit with new machinery and equipment. Givaudan employs hundreds in the region, including 576 at the company’s North American headquarters at 1199 Edison Dr. in the city of Cincinnati’s Bond Hill neighborhood; 306 at a facility on E. 69th St. in the city’s Carthage neighborhood; and some number at a facility in Florence. The company intends to move 220 of the jobs from the Carthage facility to the forthcoming Reading facility, of which it promises to backfill 218 at the Cincinnati facility over the term of the 15-year enterprise zone agreement. The company is expected to employ 308 at the Reading facility within 15 years, representing a total annual payroll of $23.1 million. The facility is expected to open in 2027 and host an initial count of 134 employees before maxing out in 2038. By the end of the 15-year agreement term, the company expected to employ 1,188 in Hamilton County alone, up from 882.

Givaudan is a global leader in Fragrance & Beauty and Taste & Wellbeing. The company celebrates the beauty of human experience by creating for happier, healthier lives with love for nature. Together with their customers they deliver food experiences, craft inspired fragrances, and develop beauty and wellbeing solutions that make people look and feel good.
