Sovereign AI infrastructure in Nepal
Sovereign AI Cloud, Powered by the Himalayas.
Status: WaitlistCloudFRM.ai is building GPU compute in Nepal, on a grid the IEA records as almost entirely hydropower, for data that stays in Nepal. Phase 1 hardware is on order; nothing is in service yet.

Why Nepal
From the Himalayas, to energy, to compute, to the world.
- Himalayas Snow and glaciers feed the rivers that run south through Nepal.
- Energy Those rivers generate almost all of Nepal’s electricity: the IEA records the grid as almost entirely hydropower.
- Compute CloudFRM.ai plans to put that energy to work as AI compute in Nepal, drawing on the national grid.
- Global Compute in Nepal, for developers and organisations in Nepal and around the world.
Energy use will be published once hardware is in service and metered.
What the platform is built to do
Six things CloudFRM.ai is building. Each carries its status today, and none is in service yet.
GPU-as-a-Service
Status: WaitlistNVIDIA HGX B300 capacity, on demand or reserved, through an API and a console.
Data sovereignty
Status: PlannedData and models that stay in Nepal, under Nepali law, for organisations that need to say where their data lives.
Hydropower-sourced compute
Status: PlannedCompute designed to draw on a grid that is almost entirely hydropower. Energy use will be published once hardware is metered.
Managed AI infrastructure
Status: PlannedClusters, orchestration and storage run for you, so a team can start with a model rather than a rack.
Private AI cloud
Status: PlannedDedicated capacity for one organisation, isolated from every other tenant.
Compliance-minded onboarding
Status: PlannedIdentity, roles and audit records from the first sign-in, built for organisations that answer to a regulator.
The infrastructure, layer by layer
Seven layers from power to applications. Each carries its honest status; nothing is operational today.
| Layer | Today | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Compute | NVIDIA HGX B300, the chosen platform. Phase 1 hardware is on order. | Status: In progress |
| Facility | Phase 1 in a third-party data centre in Nepal, under NDA. A facility of our own is on the roadmap. | Status: In progress |
| Orchestration | Kubernetes and Slurm: the intended stack, not yet installed. | Status: Planned |
| Power | Nepal’s national grid, almost entirely hydropower. No power contract is in place yet. | Status: Planned |
| Network | Fibre transit to global networks, at quotation stage. | Status: In progress |
Four ways to buy compute
Pricing is not published: every tier opens with a conversation, and the platform is on a waitlist until capacity is in service.
On-Demand
Status: WaitlistGPUs by the hour, started and stopped from the console or the API.

Dedicated Cluster
Status: WaitlistWhole nodes for one organisation, with the network and storage to match, run as a private AI cloud.
Contact usBatch / Spot
Status: WaitlistInterruptible capacity for training and batch inference that can wait for the best moment to run.

The ecosystem being built on it
Three products of our own, each a first customer of the platform. They open when they have something to show.
Bhasa
Status: In progressNepali-language AI. Its first application, a voice assistant that answers banking questions in Nepali, is in speech-to-text testing.
Voice
Status: In progressVoices for AI, starting with a studio for recording speech data.
Fable
Status: PlannedAn original anime universe. It stays dark until its first chapter is ready.
Hydropower-sourced, by design
Nepal’s grid is almost entirely hydropower, and CloudFRM.ai is being built to draw on it. That is a commitment about where the power will come from, not a measurement: no hardware is in service, no power contract is signed, and no energy figure will be published until it is metered.
- The national grid is the source. Nepal’s export capacity is full and clean power is being shed; compute in Nepal can use it.
- The facility is chosen for it: Phase 1 sits on that grid, in Nepal.
- Figures follow metering. Once hardware runs, energy use is published as measured, with its method.
