Fluidstack and Macquarie Partner to Expand GPU Access for Leading European AI Labs

Fluidstack, the AI cloud platform powering top-tier research labs, has announced a strategic GPU financing agreement with Macquarie Group’s Specialised and Asset Finance division. The deal will support the deployment of high-performance compute infrastructure across Europe’s AI ecosystem.

César Maklary, Co-Founder and President of Fluidstack, said the collaboration allows AI labs to access cutting-edge GPUs without long-term contracts, aligning infrastructure flexibility with the rapid pace of AI development. The financing, backed by the GPUs themselves, enables Fluidstack to support clients such as Mistral, Character.AI, and Poolside.

Lou Tricarico, Managing Director at Macquarie, said the partnership sets a new benchmark for funding AI infrastructure. Expansion across Europe is planned as demand accelerates.
