European ai & machine learning alternative based in France.
Scaleway AI provides sovereign European infrastructure for training, fine-tuning, and serving AI models β spanning on-demand GPU clusters, dedicated supercomputers, and generative inference APIs on a single platform. Powering Mistral AI, Hugging Face, and France TV, it gives AI teams access to 5,000+ GPUs including H100, B300-SXM, L40S, and L4 without queueing behind US hyperscalers or accepting extraterritorial data exposure.
The platform scales from single-GPU experiments to the Scaleway SuperPod with 1,000+ interconnected GPUs for foundation model training, and offers managed inference, serverless Generative APIs, and custom-built clusters. Multi-AZ deployment across three European regions delivers low-latency compute alongside 100+ other Scaleway cloud services β storage, Kubernetes, databases β under one console and one bill.
Key benefits:
- H100 and B300 GPU clusters available on-demand from 32 to 1,000+ units
- Generative APIs for instant access to open-weight LLMs
- Custom SuperPod training with InfiniBand interconnect for foundation models
- Transparent pay-per-hour pricing with no egress fees within the platform
- HDS-certified infrastructure qualified for French healthcare workloads
