Partnership Targets Low-Latency AI at Internet Exchange Points

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2026 – Moonshot and QumulusAI announced a strategic agreement with Connected Nation Internet Exchange Points, or IXP.us, to deploy a nationally distributed artificial intelligence compute and internet exchange platform designed to support low-latency AI workloads at the network edge.

Under the agreement, the companies will pair carrier-neutral internet exchange points with modular “AI Pods,” initially targeting deployment at 25 IXP.us sites, with plans to scale to as many as 125 locations across U.S. research university campuses and municipalities over the next five years.

“With this strategic relationship, we will enable the first scalable low-latency compute infrastructure directly adjacent to our network-dense interconnection facilities, including on many research university campuses,” said Hunter Newby, co-CEO of IXP.us.
