Lyceum

European sovereign GPU cloud for AI workloads

Overview

Lyceum builds a sovereign GPU cloud platform that makes high-performance computing for AI workload easy and local to Europe. It operates a software layer that abstracts infrastructure so users can deploy AI models with a single click from their IDE. The platform automates hardware selection, offers upfront transparent pricing, and schedules elastic workloads to prevent overprovisioning and reduce DevOps costs. Lyceum runs its own European data-center hardware, including a liquid-cooled facility in Paris, ensuring data sovereignty and residency for customers, with NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs deployed early. This positions Lyceum as a European alternative to US-based hyperscalers. Its goal is to broaden access to powerful AI compute in Europe by expanding its engineering and commercial teams, securing hardware partnerships, and building more data centers to maintain control over performance, cost, and data governance.
