Retorik AI hosts its internally run LLMs on Scaleway Kapsule H100 nodes in a sovereign European environment, citing 15% lower cloud costs
Retorik AI, a generative AI platform for digital employees, moved from a foreign provider to Scaleway to host its AI platform in a sovereign environment outside US cloud law. It built R&D and production stacks for internally hosted LLMs on Scaleway's managed Kubernetes (Kapsule) with H100 nodes, and says Scaleway enabled it to reduce cloud costs by 15%.
Overview
Retorik AI, a generative AI platform for digital employees, moved from a foreign provider to Scaleway to host its AI platform in a sovereign environment outside US cloud law.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Retorik AI hosted its data in France but with a foreign provider. As its need for AI computing grew, it realised it could not develop sovereign and ethical AI models while exposed to U.S. cloud law, nor guarantee total security for end-customer data, and it also wanted to reduce cloud costs and CO2 emissions.
The solution
Retorik AI built its installation on Scaleway Kapsule, Scaleway's managed Kubernetes product, designing R&D and production stacks for its internally hosted LLMs on the H100 nodes available in Kapsule. Scaleway's teams advised on sizing the environments and keeping the Kubernetes clusters stable.
Reported business value
Retorik AI says Scaleway enabled it to save 15% on cloud costs while hosting its AI platform in a sovereign environment. It aims to improve the performance of the models it serves and is part of the private beta of Scaleway's Generative APIs.

HP crafts marketing campaigns that resonate with customers using Databricks and Uniphore
HP centralized first-party customer data on the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake and Unity Catalog, and connected it to Uniphore's HybridCompute for federated query pushdown, cutting campaign setup from 2 weeks to 2 hours and processing 400 million records in seconds.
Building a safer and more sustainable world
Novade, a construction management software company, partnered with Databricks to modernize its analytics and ML infrastructure, moving from a homegrown Apache Airflow stack to the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and MLflow. The move reduced total cost of ownership by 60% and supported a 100% increase in new clients, while enabling ML models for predicting incident risk affecting worker safety and project delivery schedules.
SafeGraph optimizes geospatial data processing with Databricks and Delta Sharing
SafeGraph used the Databricks Data + AI Platform, Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and MLflow to process petabytes of geospatial data and feed predictive models, achieving 2x-10x faster spatial querying, indexing and partitioning and a 50% reduction in peak memory consumption compared to other platforms, while reducing data access time for partners from months to minutes via Delta Sharing.
Transforming Weather Forecasting with Lakeflow Jobs
AccuWeather migrated from on-premises infrastructure to Databricks and Lakeflow Jobs, working with Datadog for observability, to unify diverse weather data formats and orchestrate 4,500+ weekly jobs. Lakeflow Jobs coordinates the ingestion of multiple weather models, triggers machine learning processes that weight and blend different forecasts, and manages complex job dependencies for reinforcement training workflows used in AccuWeather's proprietary forecasting engine. AccuWeather reports 3x faster dataset development (three months to one month per dataset), a 50% reduction in unactionable alerts, and 50% cost savings on serverless job usage.
