“Our partnership with Atlas Cloud extends access to DeepSeek R1 in North America, addressing growing concerns about data sovereignty and performance optimization.”

DeepSeek R1, known for its advanced AI capabilities, is now accessible to North American users through Atlas Cloud’s high-performance inference platform, which delivers superior speed and affordability compared to DeepSeek’s native deployment. The deal, signed in January, leverages Soluna Cloud’s data centers to ensure seamless and secure AI model deployment with enhanced accessibility and sustainability.

“Soluna Cloud is committed to providing AI innovators with the sustainable, scalable computing power they need,” said John Belizaire, CEO at Soluna Cloud. “Our partnership with Atlas Cloud extends access to DeepSeek R1 in North America, addressing growing concerns about data sovereignty and performance optimization.”

This North America-based deployment caters to enterprises and developers seeking alternatives to China-hosted AI solutions due to regulatory, compliance, and performance considerations.

“Atlas designed DeepSeek R1’s North American deployment to achieve what hyperscalers simply can’t—delivering incredible reductions in latency within secure, strategically located North American sites powered by Soluna,” said Jerry Tang, Founder and CEO of Atlas Cloud. “We’re excited to offer enterprises a seamless off-ramp from China-hosted models without the usual compliance headaches.”
