ABOUT HOSTED·AI
we want
all service providers – hosters, CSPs, MSPs, telcos – to be part of the AI revolution.
Because local providers are vital to the health of the Internet
Because we believe in diversity not monopoly
And as AI becomes ubiquitous it cannot be controlled by big tech
and we want
to make that easy by removing the barriers to AI hosting.
So you can create GPU cloud services without going into six-figure debt
So you’re not constrained by hardware vendors or availability
So you can give customers sensible pricing while making sensible margins
hosted·ai isn't just software. It’s a gameplan for making AI cloud better for everyone
