Yes, in the US right now. We don't run our own datacenters, though we sometimes consider it in a moment of frustration when the provider is not able to get the correct hardware configuration and firmware versions. Currently renting bare metal servers from neoclouds. We can't use hyperscalers because we need bare metal access to the machine.
Thanks that's great to know. btw does a user need to trust Neoclouds in case they install malicious hardware/firmware/software on the servers?
That's the best part, you don't. You only need to trust NVIDIA and AMD/Intel. Modulo difficult to mount physical attacks and side channels, which we wrote more about here: https://tinfoil.sh/blog/2025-05-15-side-channels
