TL;DR Choosing an “EU Region” tells you where your servers sit, not which legal system can reach your data. That gap sits at the center of […]
TL;DR: Self-hosting an LLM comes down to three options: subscribe, buy, or rent and build. Renting dedicated hardware gives you the ownership buying promises, without the procurement, and none of the per-token exposure of subscribing. This guide covers all three, then walks through exactly how to build the third, step by step. When someone asks […]
Legal challenges to transatlantic data frameworks aren’t just a headline for compliance teams to track. They can trigger emergency vendor risk reviews and force migration planning many enterprises haven’t budgeted for. Anchoring your AI and cloud infrastructure in an autonomous European legal entity removes this specific dependency from your risk picture entirely. The next legal […]
You already paid for the AI model, but there’s a second price most teams don’t notice until later: the proprietary knowledge you hand over just to make the model useful. That’s not a Leaseweb argument, but the argument Microsoft’s own CEO made in public, in July 2026. TL;DR Microsoft’s own CEO argued in July 2026 […]

The right bare metal GPU, sized correctly to your workload, is the difference between a predictable monthly infrastructure line and a finance conversation every quarter. The decision is simpler than most spec sheets make it look. Start with your workload, not the hardware. Match your workload to the right bare metal GPU If you are […]
TL;DR: A dual-socket AMD EPYC 9334 delivers 20–28 tokens/sec on Q4-quantized 7B–20B LLMs and sub-real-time TTS inference (RTF 0.16 for Kokoro). Throughput is roughly half that of an NVIDIA L4 GPU, but at a fraction of the per-hour cost. For batch, async, and lightweight TTS workloads, this AMD EPYC LLM inference benchmark shows CPU is […]
