The problem
AI apps and inference clouds need faster, cheaper tokens but can't buy, house and run specialized chips themselves
What they do
Inference cloud that buys and runs non-Nvidia AI chips and sells fast tokens
Traction One customer deal worth ~$100M ARR (company-stated); 75 MW deployment planned for 2027

Distance
Unproven · edge: cheaper at size
Under a year old with ~13 staff; its edge is buying and siting alternative inference chips at scale, but revenue rests on one large customer, it is debt-funded and capital-hungry (CEO calls fundraising a full-time job), and it sells into a crowded neocloud market facing a predicted shakeout.
