Nebius

Nebius is a leading AI-centric cloud platform designed to empower developers and businesses with cutting-edge infrastructure for building, tuning, and running artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads. Headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Nebius Group N.V. operates as a Nasdaq-listed technology company with a global footprint, including R&D hubs across Europe, North America, and Israel. Formerly known as Yandex N.V., the company rebranded in August 2024 after divesting its Russian assets, focusing exclusively on AI infrastructure and services. With a team of approximately 850 top-tier AI engineers, Nebius is positioned as a trusted leader in cloud innovation, particularly for compute-intensive AI applications.

Nebius specializes in providing full-stack infrastructure tailored for AI and ML, offering scalable, high-performance solutions that include large-scale GPU clusters, cloud platforms, and developer tools. Its flagship offering, the Nebius AI Cloud, leverages proprietary hardware and software designs, including in-house servers, racks, and data centers, to deliver exceptional computational power. The platform supports a range of NVIDIA GPUs, such as H100, H200, and L40S, interconnected with high-speed InfiniBand networks (up to 3.2 Tbit/s per host), ensuring rapid data processing for tasks like model training, fine-tuning, and inference. Nebius AI Studio further enhances its offerings by providing a comprehensive platform for fine-tuning open-source models, integrating tools like MLflow, PostgreSQL, and Apache Spark with zero-maintenance deployment.

The company operates energy-efficient data centers in Finland, France, Iceland, and the United States, with a new 300 MW facility under construction in New Jersey in partnership with DataOne, set to launch in summer 2025. Its Finnish data center, one of Europe’s most energy-efficient, boasts a power usage efficiency (PUE) below 1.2, leveraging innovative cooling and heat recovery systems. Nebius also emphasizes sustainability, utilizing behind-the-meter electricity and advanced energy technologies to minimize environmental impact.

Nebius stands out for its flexibility and developer-friendly approach. Users can access virtual machines, managed Kubernetes clusters, and scalable S3-compatible object storage through an intuitive self-service console, API, or Terraform. The platform supports a variety of deployment options, from cloud instances to web-embedded applications, ensuring accessibility even during peak loads. Nebius offers 24/7 expert support and adheres to stringent security standards, including ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and GDPR compliance, with a multilayered “defense in depth” cybersecurity strategy.

Beyond its core cloud services, Nebius Group encompasses Toloka AI for data annotation, Avride for autonomous driving technology, and TripleTen, an edtech platform for tech reskilling. The company’s partnership with NVIDIA, as a Reference Platform Cloud Partner, underscores its commitment to leveraging cutting-edge hardware. With recent investments of $700 million led by NVIDIA and Accel, Nebius is rapidly expanding its infrastructure to meet the growing demands of AI innovators. By combining world-class technology with localized support, such as Hebrew-speaking teams in Israel, Nebius delivers a versatile, high-performance cloud platform that empowers AI development globally.
