A boring inference company. On purpose.

Open-source frontier models deserve a serious inference home. Data sovereignty is a structural shift in how regulated companies buy AI. The next two to three years of production inference run on Blackwell-class hardware. We built clusterbid to be the obvious answer at the intersection of those three things.

We aren't trying to be flashy. We're trying to be the inference provider your CISO does not have to argue about — and your engineers do not have to babysit. Region routing in code. Contracts on our paper. Status page that's actually informative. SOC 2 from day one.

// 01 · why we exist

The frontier is open.

Llama-3.1-405B and DeepSeek-V3 are within reach of GPT-4o and Claude on the work most enterprises actually run. The closed labs have a quality moat that is shrinking and a jurisdiction moat that is growing.

Sovereignty is structural.

The EU AI Act, India's DPDPA, and a wave of sector regulators are not going away. The right answer is not “trust us” — it's region-resident infrastructure with contracts regulated buyers can sign.

Blackwell changes the math.

B200 and B300 make frontier-size open models economic to serve. The inference clouds built on Hopper are running last year's cost curve. We started fresh, on Blackwell.
