Summary
Blackfuel officially launched on September 30, announcing plans for its first deployment at Digital Realty's BCN1 data center in Barcelona, Spain. BCN1 offers 161,500 sq ft (15,000 sqm) of colocation space and was launched earlier this year. The first deployment will be built on liquid-cooled Dell PowerRack systems featuring Dell PowerEdge XE9785L servers with AMD Instinct MI355X accelerators. The company will offer dedicated GPU clusters, managed inference and reserved serving capacity, alongside an "inference pool" for its token platform. The company is also introducing fractional GPU capacity, which will enable customers to reserve a share of a model's serving capacity for a fixed monthly fee, instead of renting an entire multi-GPU deployment.
