Management said the company already counts 10% of Fortune 500 companies as customers, and more than half of new customers this year came from outside AI labs and the technology sector. Exact quote: “10% of our backlog is from financial services.” Management added that 70% of new cloud customers in Q3 were already Forge customers. Enterprises are using software and development tools first, then beginning to purchase and deploy cloud infrastructure, translating into actual customer conversions. Industry implications: Enterprise AI adoption has reached a stage where orders and purchases can be observed. Industries such as financial services are becoming quantifiable sources of compute demand. Conversion from software tools to production deployments provides a new growth path for broader infrastructure demand.
