Pros & Cons

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
European data residency across French sites, with hydro, nuclear, and solar energy under long-term PPAs

Considerations

Infrastructure concentrated in France, with no North American or Asia-Pacific regions
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

Theta EdgeCloud

Advantages

50-70% cost savings compared to AWS, Azure, and GCP
Hybrid architecture combining cloud and edge for flexible scaling

Considerations

Dynamic marketplace pricing with no fixed published rates
Relies on crypto token ecosystem (TFuel) for payments and rewards
Community node reliability can vary compared to dedicated data centers
