AI Control Layer for Grid-Aware Data Centers — autonomous cooling and power optimization
Confirmed by founderFluix AI is an on-premises AI platform that controls cooling and power systems in data centers to shed load during grid events without disrupting IT operations. Their A.I.M.I. software layer sits between facility infrastructure (HVAC, CRAC, BMS) and the grid, enabling autonomous demand response and energy optimization for colocation and enterprise data centers. Unlike hyperscaler solutions that control compute workloads, Fluix focuses on the physical infrastructure layer that operators actually own — cooling and power — making it deployable at any data center regardless of tenant or workload type. From data connection to full automation takes just 90 days.

With rising energy rates, increased demand, and carbon regulations, data centers are eager to save energy. Small-to-medium data centers is the fastest growing segment ($30B). However, major automation companies like Honeywell and Johnson Controls don't address how fragmented systems in these centers are. Our company, FLUIX, does. We are like Google for facility management. Our AI software optimizes and manages complex facilities, saving up to 40% in energy costs, helping SMB data centers increase margins and meet AI demand. Currently, many SMB data centers calculate efficiency metrics on spreadsheets or even by hand, which can take hours, and by the time they're finished, the values would have likely changed. With lack of these insights, facilities are often static and stuck in the past. Facility systems are fragmented and do not holistically work together, leading to millions lost in potential savings.
6+ months of live optimization deployed; a LatAm colo data center achieved 25% cooling optimization projecting $260K+/yr in savings; a US data center and utility achieved 0.4 MWh/day autonomous DR curtailment savings. Paid pilots are converting to expansion contracts, including a major U.S. utility partner discussing a 7-site portfolio rollout, with a follow-on PO issued to expand into two additional data centers.

FLUIX AI secured $2.1M in SAFE funding to address data centers' rising energy demands with its AI Autopilot, A.I.M.I.®. Cutting energy use by up to 40%, FLUIX reduces costs and environmental impact as the “Eco-AI” transforming infrastructure.
Introducing our newest model - A.I.M.I.® 1.0 a deep reinforcement learning controller that safely explores autonomous actions in data centers environments.
AIMI1 allows operators to find and capitalize on stranded power by using the model to autonomously control cooling systems, eliminating energy waste that can be routed to more GPUs.
This article highlights the model's capability to train quickly and safely on live production data center equipment in our lab, while imitating fluctuations of heat loads in AI Factories. Results showing 28% reduction in PUE with 0% temperature excursions. Link to article: https://www.fluix.ai/media/a.i.m.i.-1.0-a-drl-for-continuous-control-of-data-center-cooling

Our grand opening on March 27th, is an exclusive event brings together 60+ data center experts, investors, operators, and industry professionals to explore the evolution of data centers with physical AI.
FLUIX AI has closed a $2.1M SAFE funding round to tackle the growing energy demands of data centers with its groundbreaking AI Autopilot platform, A.I.M.I.®. By optimizing data centers, FLUIX cuts energy consumption by up to 40%, reducing costs and environmental impact—think of it as the “Eco-AI” revolutionizing infrastructure
FLUIX Inc., a climate startup, has proudly announced its latest feat in artificial intelligence: AIMI, an Autonomous AI, has significantly reduced HVAC energy consumption by 65% in a server room environment. This pioneering initiative optimizes energy use and maintains optimal server performance, leading to an impressive 40% cut in overall site energy usage. “Through the innovation of our own Eco-AI, we are enabling traditional AI to be more efficient by optimizing the data centers that host them.” - Abhishek Sastri, Founder & CEO, FLUIX Inc.
