## GPU Memory Challenge

AI models constantly recalculate the same information in long context windows and multi-turn conversations, rapidly depleting expensive GPU memory. Weka addresses this with flash storage technology that extends GPU memory capacity at lower cost.

## NeuralMesh 6 Platform

Weka's new NeuralMesh 6 software and Wekapod 3 hardware introduce Augmented Memory Grid technology. This system leverages NAND flash storage to function like GPU memory at a fraction of the cost, specifically designed for large-scale AI deployments.

## Multi-Tenancy Support

NeuralMesh 6 offers composable and virtual multi-tenancy supporting up to 50,000 tenants. With hardware-level isolation and provisioning under 30 minutes, it enables enterprises to flexibly manage AI infrastructure at scale.

## Unified Storage System

Weka's platform unifies file and object storage in a single system. Unlike traditional solutions, it allows reading the same physical data through both paths without duplication, significantly improving storage efficiency.

## Context Window Optimization

Augmented Memory Grid caches 100% of pre-calculated tokens, eliminating recomputation overhead. This dramatically optimizes GPU usage, especially for multi-turn interactions like chat and coding assistants.

## Competitive Positioning

Unlike traditional storage vendors like Dell and NetApp, Weka offers a native AI solution from the ground up. Analysts highlight its unique value proposition for organizations with rapidly growing AI workloads requiring efficient GPU utilization.
