On August 8, Forbes recently released the Cloud 100 list of global cloud computing companies. In this year's list, AI companies are like batches of dark horses, bringing unprecedented prosperity to the business of many companies. Among them, 7 of the 16 new Cloud 100 companies are AI companies. Additionally, half of the companies on this list said they launched a generative AI product or tool within the past eight months.
It is not difficult to guess that OpenAI, which has swept the world with technologies such as ChatGPT and GPT-4, topped the list, which is unprecedented.
Databricks overtook Stripe for the first time in second place. Not only has it spent $1.3 billion in the past year to acquire MosaicML, a large-scale model language startup, but it has also released the AI model SDK used by Spark, a big data analysis platform. "There's been a complete shift in awareness this year," said Ali Ghodsi, co-founder and chief executive of Databricks, which announced in June that it had surpassed $1 billion in revenue for the fiscal year that ended in January.
Third-place fintech company Stripe uses AI to fight fraud; fourth-place Canva embeds AI models in its design software.
Meanwhile, newcomers to the list at No. 73 Anthropic, No. 80 Abnormal Security, No. 85 Midjourney, and No. 98 Hugging Face are all AI startups.
However, even the best in cloud computing are not immune to the headwinds of the tech industry. Many companies have experienced layoffs or valuation cuts, and few have bothered to test the waters with an initial public offering (IPO).
Still, some companies are using the time to step up their pace. Take Rubrik at No. 9, which climbed 22 spots to top $500 million in annual recurring revenue, or Wiz at No. 15, which jumped 67 spots to top last year's list. The security company's meteoric rise has made it one of the fastest-growing software companies of all time.
Cloud computing leaders still lack diversity, with only six CEOs of companies on the list being women, down from eight last year.
The detailed list is as follows:
