Zettabyte brings open source AI models to cloud through one API. August 17, 2026 Zettabyte has launched a managed cloud service that gives organisations API access to open-source and open-weight AI models, reducing the infrastructure needed to deploy and run them. Zettabyte has launched Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) on zCLOUD, turning access to open-source and open-weight AI models into an on-demand cloud service through a single API. The service gives organisations access to models including Kimi, GLM, Llama, GPT-OSS, Gemma, and Qwen without requiring them to independently deploy and manage each model. The models run on Zettabyte's NVIDIA H100, H200, B200, and B300 GPUs. Teams can call them through APIs without sourcing, installing, or tuning the models themselves. Organisations requiring greater control can instead rent raw GPU capacity on zCLOUD and run their own models. NVIDIA H100 capacity is available immediately, starting at US$1.99 per GPU-hour depending on requirements and scale. zCLOUD targets 99.5% uptime, while reserved clusters are designed for deployment within six hours of confirmed requirements. Zettabyte offers short-term GPU capacity, reserved clusters for sustained training and inference, and private cloud deployments for procurement, security, or regional requirements. "AI computing will be everywhere, from hyperscale data centers to the edge. The supporting AI infrastructure and software must be compatible, resilient, and agile. zCLOUD was built to deliver Model-as-a-Service, bringing more than 40 hardware providers together and managing the underlying AI infrastructure through our zSUITE full stack," said Dr. David Ku, Technology Leader at Zettabyte and former Corporate Vice President and CTO of AI at Microsoft. The service creates a middle ground between proprietary AI APIs and self-hosted open models, giving organisations a managed way to adopt open AI without first building the underlying infrastructure.

AI demand explodes over 300-fold. Zettabyte makes the case for quality compute and Taiwan's Sovereign AI Future. July 7, 2026 TAIPEI, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - As global consumption for AI computing tokens accelerates at unprecedented speed, Zettabyte, a global AI computing company, is using the occasion to argue that compute should be judged by the quality of the useful work it delivers, not by hardware specifications and hourly price alone. Zettabyte made its case for quality compute for sovereign computing standards at the AI Server Supply Chain Seminar convened by the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taipei. Founded in 1973, ITRI has played a vital role in transforming Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Over the years, ITRI has incubated hundreds of startups and spinoffs, including well-known companies such as United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). "Taiwan's strength in semiconductors and AI hardware is well established. Developing rigorous standards for how compute is measured is a logical next step, and the kind of work ITRI is positioned to support," said Stephen Su, Senior Vice President, ITRI. Against this backdrop, Zettabyte set out its core argument at the seminar it co-organized with ITRI: a cluster should be judged by the useful work it delivers, not by the amount of hardware it contains. "The AI industry has measured infrastructure primarily through two metrics: GPU count and hourly rental cost. Yet neither metric answers the core question that matters most to customers," said Jeff Lin, Executive Director of Zettabyte. "Paying customers want to know how much 'useful' AI is being produced by the GPUs, and to be able to reliably measure this. Recent disputes highlight a long-growing disconnect between consumer expectations and the actual cost of providing AI inference." zSUITE measures how much useful compute a GPU cluster actually delivers, giving operators visibility into the reliability and efficiency gaps that drive up to 15 percent of total cost. Investing in Taiwan's Sovereign AI Future Zettabyte is actively advancing software licensing for its zSUITE platform for Taiwan sovereign use, and is rolling out collaboration with ITRI and selected leading universities across Taiwan with AI programs and research labs. The company views the program as an investment in the next generation of AI infrastructure talent and a contribution to Taiwan's continued leadership in the global AI ecosystem. By putting the same measurement tools it uses in production into the hands of Taiwan's research institutes and universities, Zettabyte aims to help build the local expertise on which sovereign AI infrastructure depends. About Zettabyte Zettabyte is a global AI computing company focused on delivering measurable high-quality compute. Through its zSUITE platform, the company enables organizations to visualize data, computing, and goodput to improve reliability, readiness, observability, cost transparency, and energy efficiency across AI infrastructure environments. About ITRI ITRI is a world-leading applied technology research institute with more than 6,500 employees. Its mission is to drive industrial development, create economic value, and enhance social well-being through technology R&D.
