Profile note

Swiss contracting entity and Swiss-law DPA, with customer infrastructure located in eight EU/Swiss zones and no identified US-hyperscaler runtime dependency. Do not compress that into 'EU sovereign': Exoscale is outside the EU and ultimately controlled by Mexico's América Móvil, despite Austria's 28.4% state interest in the group. It offers multi-zone GPU capacity and OpenAI-compatible dedicated inference for arbitrary Hugging Face weights; token-metered managed inference remains unpriced/waitlist-only.
