Global asset manager Brookfield has announced the launch of Radiant, a new cloud infrastructure unit designed to support the growing demand for advanced computing resources driven by artificial intelligence development.
The move marks Brookfield’s most direct step yet into the competitive cloud infrastructure market, where demand for compute capacity, specialized chips, and large scale data centers continues to accelerate.
A Cloud Platform Built for Compute Intensive Workloads
Radiant is positioned as an infrastructure-first cloud offering, focused on providing AI developers with access to high-performance chips and scalable data center capacity. Rather than competing on consumer-facing software, the unit aims to serve as a foundational layer for companies building compute-heavy applications.
Brookfield plans to offer chip leasing models alongside long-term infrastructure commitments, targeting customers that require predictable performance and cost stability for large training and inference workloads.
Backed by a $10 Billion AI Investment Strategy
The new cloud initiative will be supported by Brookfield’s dedicated $10 billion artificial intelligence fund, which is focused on long duration investments across data centers, power generation, and digital infrastructure.
According to the company, the fund is designed to align with the structural growth of compute demand, rather than short-term technology cycles. Radiant will serve as a deployment vehicle for capital already earmarked for AI-related infrastructure expansion.
Entering a Crowded Infrastructure Landscape
Radiant enters a market currently dominated by hyperscalers such as Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft, all of which tightly integrate hardware, software, and cloud services.
Brookfield’s approach differs by emphasizing neutral infrastructure ownership rather than vertically integrated platforms. This positioning may appeal to developers and enterprises seeking alternatives to vendor-locked ecosystems.

Infrastructure, Not Software, as the Core Bet
With Radiant, Brookfield is betting that long-term value in AI will increasingly concentrate in physical infrastructure: power, land, cooling systems, and specialized compute assets. As model sizes and deployment demands continue to scale, access to reliable infrastructure is becoming a strategic constraint rather than a commodity.
Radiant is expected to begin onboarding customers in phases, with initial capacity focused on regions where Brookfield already operates large-scale data center and energy assets.
