Overview
Nscale Limited is an AI cloud company based in London, United Kingdom, which the company says it began building in Q3 2023 before raising seed funding in December 2023. It emerged from stealth in 2024 and introduced Nscale Serverless Inference in April 2025. The platform provides GPU clusters on H100, H200, and GB200-class nodes, managed Kubernetes and Slurm, instances, VPC networking, and a Terraform provider. Its serverless inference API is compatible with OpenAI SDKs and, per the company, does not log or train on request or response content. Serverless usage is billed pay-as-you-go per token or request, compute is also available through reservations, and new accounts receive a small free credit according to the documentation.
