## Common questions

### What is Sesterce?

Sesterce positions itself as a European sovereign AI cloud operator, branding its offering as an "AI Factory" company that is "sovereign by design, renewable by default." It runs three sites across France, framed as a single sovereign compute grid: a large campus at Bosquel in Hauts-de-France developed in partnership with SoftBank, an operated facility at Valence, and Paris capacity inside Equinix. The company markets 2 GW of clean-power supply (hydro, nuclear, solar) backing that footprint, and pitches EU data residency plus renewable sourcing as its wedge against US-headquartered neoclouds.\n\nUnlike pure GPU-broker neoclouds, Sesterce presents a vertically integrated stack: its own on-demand cloud (cloud.sesterce.com) with live public pricing, a Slurm and Kubernetes multi-tenant OS, and a CLI/API for cluster provisioning it advertises at under two hours. Public rate card spans A100, L40S, H100, H200, B200, B300 and GB300, with the B300 headline at $8.48 per GPU-hour and H100 at $1.83 per GPU-hour, placing it in the mid-market range for European sovereign providers rather than the deep-discount long-tail. Named tenants disclosed on the site include NVIDIA, SoftBank, Societe Generale, Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas, F5, UMA Robotics and Patriarche, skewing toward French banks and enterprises rather than frontier US model labs.\n\nCorporate specifics are thin in public sources: the company does not disclose founding year, headcount, funding total, or CEO on its own site as of mid-2026, and no press releases are posted to its newsroom. That opacity is itself notable given the size of the Bosquel gigawatt claim, and any GPU-count or committed-MW figure below should be treated as a marketing-page assertion rather than an audited disclosure.
