Pros & Cons

Orion AI Factory

Advantages

Considerations

Sesterce

Advantages

Broad on-demand catalog running from Blackwell B300 and H200 down to previous-generation NVIDIA cards, plus Intel Gaudi 2
On-demand, spot, and reserved billing modes on the same clusters
VM and bare-metal deployment with single- and multi-GPU (up to 8x) configurations
AI factory capacity at French sites, with hydro, nuclear, and solar energy under long-term PPAs

Considerations

On-demand instances run in regions across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, so a self-serve instance is not necessarily hosted in France
Rack-scale GB300 NVL72 and B200 capacity is contracted as reserved AI factory capacity rather than sold from the self-serve catalog
The newest and largest accelerators (B300, H200, Gaudi 2) are only sold as 8-GPU nodes, with no smaller self-serve size
