About Nebius AI
Launched in November 2023, the Nebius AI platform provides high-end infrastructure and tools for training, fine-tuning and inference. Based in Europe with a global footprint we aspire to become the leading AI cloud for AI practitonerts around the world.
Nebius is built around the talents of more than 500 highly skilled engineers with a proven track record in developing sophisticated cloud and ML solutions and designing cutting-edge hardware. This allows all the layers of the Nebius AI cloud – from hardware to UI – to be built in-house, clearly differentiating Nebius from the majority of specialized clouds: Nebius customers get a true hyperscaler-cloud experience tailored for AI practitioners.
As an NVIDIA preferred cloud service provider, Nebius offers the latest NVIDIA GPUs including H100, L40S, with H200 and Blackwell chips coming soon.
Nebius owns a data center in Finland, built from the ground up by the company’s R&D team. We are expanding our infrastructure and plan to add new colocation data centers in Europe and North America already this year, and to build several greenfield DCs in the near future.
Our Finnish data center is home to ISEG, the most powerful commercially available supercomputer in Europe and the 19th most powerful globally (Top 500 list, June 2024). It also epitomizes our commitment to sustainability, with energy efficiency levels significantly above the global average and an innovative system that recovers waste heat to warm 2,000 residential buildings in the nearby town of Mäntsälä.
Nebius is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with R&D and commercial hubs across North America, Europe and Israel.
