Consumer AI
Character.AI runs a proprietary end‑to‑end stack on Google Cloud, training and serving its own Kaiju/C‑series LLMs on GPU and TPU infrastructure (including H100 clusters) with heavy inference optimization, backed by managed databases (AlloyDB, Spanner), Redis, and BigQuery on GCP.[1][2][3][4][7][10][11][15] The production platform uses dense transformer models (Kaiju Small/Medium/Large) trained and hosted on GCP, with int8-optimized inference and custom serving infrastructure for low‑latency conversational workloads.[3][7][11]
Consumer AI
AI hardware (r1); routes to multiple partner LLMs behind a large-action-model orchestration layer.
