Crusoe builds and operates AI data centers and rents out their capacity as Crusoe Cloud. Its infrastructure side sells NVIDIA and AMD GPU virtual machines, multi-node clusters with InfiniBand, CPU instances, managed Kubernetes and Slurm, disks and S3-compatible object storage, priced by the hour on demand, with spot capacity and reservations. The managed side, Intelligence Foundry, offers serverless inference priced per token over a catalog of hosted models, serverless fine-tuning, and self-serve deployments that put an open or fine-tuned model on dedicated GPUs billed by the hour. The locations page lists data centers in Iceland, Texas, Virginia and Nevada, each listed with the arrangement that powers it, and a site in Norway not yet in service.

Worth knowing

Signup is self-service and asks for a credit card; the account docs rule out prepaid cards. The newest GPU generations and spot rates are sold through sales rather than listed on the pricing page, and quota increases go through support, per the quotas page.
