📔New report. The AI-native advantage: How infrastructure is reshaping the AI race.

The first phase of the AI race was defined by access to compute. The next is being defined by inference economics: https://t.co/guxocQdzSG

AI spend is no longer a fixed line item. Every interaction is measured in tokens, and levers like applications, compute, storage, networking, and power determine what each token ultimately costs.

Nscale on NVIDIA Blackwell optimizes at every level. The result: ~35x lower cost per million tokens than previous generations. That's token economics done right.

Nscale will be the first European company to deploy NVIDIA Vera Rubin at scale.
Announced at GTC in March, we’re bringing more than 100,000 GPUs online in early 2027 across the UK, Norway, and beyond.
This means European innovators will get early access to some of the most advanced AI infrastructure in the world.

AI roaming is one of the defining capabilities of distributed AI infrastructure.

In the same way mobile networks hand off connectivity as you move between countries, AI roaming enables live sessions and memory to follow users seamlessly across environments.

Always-on inferencing is going to require an enriched service. As that becomes the standard, roaming becomes a requirement.

Nscale has raised the largest Series C round in Europe at $2 billion, led by Aker ASA and 8090 Industries. This round values Nscale at $14.6 billion.

This investment fuels our global expansion, accelerates regional capacity, expands our engineering and operations teams, and strengthens the platform layer, powering training and inference at scale.

Today, we also welcome three new Directors to our board: Sheryl Sandberg, Susan Decker, and Nick Clegg. Each brings substantial global depth across technology, policy, operations, and governance to an already world-class collection of business leaders.

Hear from our Founder & CEO Josh Payne on what’s next.
