RedCloud Deploys Agentic AI for 100,000 Customers

Global trade tech company RedCloud announced it has surpassed 100,000 customers and is activating an agentic AI layer across its network. The move marks a significant real-world deployment of agentic infrastructure in a complex domain like global trade, moving agents from the lab to live commercial operations.

RedCloud's agentic AI, codenamed 'Genesis', is built in partnership with NVIDIA and Amazon Web Services, leveraging their cloud infrastructure and advanced models. The system is trained on proprietary, real-world transaction data, benchmarked against each customer's historical performance to inform pricing, inventory, and sales decisions. This initiative aims to address a $2 trillion global inventory gap created by inefficiencies in the $14.6 trillion global FMCG supply chain. Agentic AI moves beyond traditional automation, which follows predefined rules, by using a continuous loop of sensing, planning, acting, and learning to make autonomous decisions in real time. This allows it to manage dynamic scenarios like rerouting shipments based on traffic and weather or adjusting inventory based on real-time sales trends. Key evaluation metrics for such systems include task success rate, token cost, latency, and action accuracy to ensure they are effective and efficient. Training advanced AI, especially for alignment, relies heavily on Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). This process involves human evaluators ranking model outputs to create a preference dataset, which then trains a reward model to guide the AI's behavior. Major labs like OpenAI and Anthropic spend hundreds of millions to over $1 billion annually on human-provided data, often outsourcing this labor-intensive work to specialized firms like Scale AI and Surge AI. To reduce reliance on constant human labeling for safety, some labs use Constitutional AI. This approach involves creating a set of principles (a "constitution") that the AI uses to critique and revise its own outputs, automating the alignment process. These principles are often derived from global standards like the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights to ensure the AI avoids generating harmful or discriminatory content. Evaluating agentic systems requires new benchmarks beyond typical LLM tests. Frameworks like AgentBench, WebArena, and GAIA test agents on multi-step, open-ended tasks involving web browsing, database queries, and tool use. On the WebArena benchmark, early GPT-4 agents had a 14% success rate compared to 78% for humans, but newer designs with improved planning and memory have reached approximately 60%, showing rapid progress. The demand for high-quality training data has created a stark choice between synthetic and human-labeled datasets. While synthetic data offers scalability and privacy, it often lacks the nuance and contextual understanding that human annotators provide, which is critical for complex tasks. Models trained primarily on synthetic data see significant performance jumps when even small amounts of human-labeled data are introduced. The funding landscape for AI infrastructure is robust, growing tenfold from $1.3 billion in 2022 to $12.8 billion in 2025. Despite strong investor interest, the current climate is characterized by a liquidity crunch, leading to tighter fundraising conditions and a preference for structured equity deals. Data centers and GPU cloud providers are attracting the most capital, reflecting the critical need for compute power. The rise of sophisticated AI is shifting the "future of work" for data labelers. Low-skill, repetitive annotation is being automated, while demand grows for high-context, domain-specific experts like doctors and lawyers to provide nuanced feedback. This is transforming data labeling from a low-cost gig economy task into a supply chain of specialized human expertise.
