The cloud provider has also expanded its sovereign AI stack, CPU options, quantum capabilities and cloud footprint across multiple new European Availability Zones<\/p>\n
At its ai-PULSE 2025 conference, European cloud operator Scaleway announced the availability of what it claimed was the region\u2019s first Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs (B300-class), marking a significant upgrade in its AI infrastructure offering. The move underlines Scaleway\u2019s ambition to supply advanced, sovereign AI compute to European enterprises and developers and not leave the running to the US hyperscalers.<\/p>\n
The company said the Blackwell Ultra B300 adds a \u201chigher performance tier\u201d to its GPU portfolio, aiming to meet the growing demand for agentic AI and large-scale inference workloads across the continent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the event, Scaleway detailed an expanded AI stack including access to the model Holo 2 by H, and the full suite of models from Mistral AI \u2013 both now deployable on its cloud infrastructure. The company pointed to the ease of deployment through integration with Hugging Face, stating that with \u201cjust a few clicks\u201d users can spin up open-source models on European infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Among other enhancements, the update includes new ARM-based CPU offerings (in collaboration with Ampere Computing) optimised for energy-efficient, continuous inference, and early testing of next-generation CPUs from Fujitsu (MONAKA), aimed at reducing power consumption and total cost of ownership for sustained workloads.<\/p>\n
New Availability Zones<\/strong><\/p>\n On the expansion front, Scaleway confirmed it has added new cloud Availability Zones in Sweden and Italy, with an additional zone in Germany already committed. The company said these regional rollouts are designed to bring cloud resources closer to organisations across Europe, helping meet rising demand for local data residency, operational resilience and jurisdictional clarity.<\/p>\n Further diversifying its offering, Scaleway also affirmed continued growth in quantum computing capabilities. Users can now access quantum-emulation and hardware from multiple modalities: photonic quantum processing from earlier partnerships, plus new access to neutral-atom systems from French vendor Pasqal and superconducting processors from leading European vendor IQM Quantum Computers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scaleway said all these quantum resources are accessible through familiar open-source frameworks such as Qiskit, Pulser, Perceval and PennyLane, essentially putting \u201cadvanced quantum methods through a single provider\u201d.<\/p>\n Scaleway CEO Damien Lucas described the upgrade as delivering \u201cthe most complete sovereign AI stack available in Europe today\u201d, stressing the importance of trusted infrastructure, energy efficiency and transparent operations amid rising demand.<\/p>\n
