Pursuing SOC2 and HIPPA make me think about the large ones; but aren't they already happy using hyperscalers?

Not to mention GCP and Azure both have confidential GPU offerings. How do you compete against them, as well as some startups mentioned in other comments like Edgeless Systems and Opaque Systems?

Technically this is not the original 671b Deepseek R1; it's just a Llama-70b trained by Deepseek R1 (called "distillation").

And they get huge discount buying GPUs in bulk. The trade-off between cost and privacy is obvious for most users imo.

I'm interested to know where the GPU servers are located. Are they in the US; do you run your own datacenter or rent servers on the hyperscalers?
