We're building Europe's sovereign AI cloud.
Founded in 2020 and based in Lyon, Arkane Cloud is a European GPU infrastructure and AI inference platform. Our mission: help every organization deploy, scale and control its AI, from prototype to production, without relying on US hyperscalers.

Ways to run AI, from API to cluster
An ark, an arch, and a K.
Our name isn't a coincidence. It sums up what we protect, how we build, and the conventions we choose to break.
Ark
The ark protects what matters
The ark is the vessel that keeps what's precious safe in a chaotic world. For us, that's your data, your independence and your ability to deploy AI without depending on anyone.
Arch
The arch carries the load
In architecture, the arch distributes the weight and makes possible what would otherwise be impossible. We're not a commodity provider: we're the infrastructure partner that lets you build something that lasts.
K
The K breaks the rules
“Arcane” with a C means opaque and closed. Arkane with a K is a deliberate break with cloud conventions: no opaque pricing, no scattered data, no lock-in.
“The ark wasn't the fastest ship, nor the most visible. It was the most reliable, built with architectural precision to cross what others hadn't anticipated. Arkane is that for European AI.”
Julien Gauthier, CEO @Arkane Cloud
Make high-performance AI accessible, without giving up control.
We make high-performance AI computing accessible, affordable and available on demand to every organization ready to embrace AI. We bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical implementation, on infrastructure that stays under European jurisdiction.
AI that isn't held back by infrastructure.
We envision a future where every breakthrough, from startup innovation to scientific research, is powered by frictionless access to compute at scale. A future where AI doesn't just support industries, it transforms them, and where Europe owns the infrastructure behind it.
We don't follow cloud conventions.
Opaque pricing, scattered data and lock-in became the norm in cloud computing. We built Arkane Cloud to do things differently.
01
Sovereign by design
Our own NVIDIA GPU servers, hosted in colocation datacenters in Lyon and Paris. Your data stays in France, operated by a French company.
02
Transparent pricing
Clear per-token and per-second pricing, no hidden fees and no surprise egress costs. You always know what you pay for.
03
No lock-in
Open-source models, an OpenAI-compatible API and upstream Kubernetes. Your models, data and pipelines remain yours.
04
Frugal AI
You don't need a B300 for simple inference. We help you pick the right GPU for each workload: never oversized, never underperforming.
Our own GPUs. Trusted partners.
We operate our own NVIDIA GPU servers in colocation datacenters in Lyon and Paris, and work with industry leaders across hardware, datacenters and the open-source AI ecosystem.

A lean team with big ambitions.
We're a small, hands-on team based at Newton Offices in Lyon. Ideas move fast and decisions are made by the people doing the work: everyone is close to the product, close to our customers, and close to each other.
We work in French and English every day, with customers all over the world, and we're hiring across France.
