  Sincere congrats to the Verda team :-)

  Can someone please help me understand what their competitive advantage is, versus the likes of AWS / Azure et al, who are also available in the EU.

  I love a good underdog story, but I'm not understanding the economics of it.

  Verda is great! The only thing bad about Verda is that it's sold out fairly often :-) So the $189M will hopefully help with that.

  Yeah the sold out bit is telling, and it's rarely the cards, it's finding racks with enough power and cooling ready to take them.

  AI cloud? I guess 189 mil will buy nvidia GPUs to host inference for Chinese models for Europeans? Is that what this is?

    That's a real risk.

    Hopefully it's for buying VSORA or Euclyd machines, but well...

      Can you buy these already? I think not.

        The VSORA machines, possibly. They are apparently delivered and being installed at Scaleway.

        The Euclyd machines, probably many months away.
