Actualités d'Antimatter.

Our Group CMO and Hivenet CEO Queenie Chan took part in a thought-provoking panel during Tech Week Singapore: "Is the Neocloud a structural shift, or just a short-term fix?"

Antimatter exists exactly to answer that question: a short-term fix rents GPUs to ride a shortage, while a structural shift changes how compute gets built.

That's why we own the full stack:

- Power first. Grid access now sets AI timelines, so we start where the energy is.

- Then units, then software. Capacity goes live in months, not years.

- Sovereign by design. Workloads stay under the jurisdiction customers choose.

- One chain, one owner. From power to the developers' terminal, with no handoffs in between.

The neocloud is here to stay. What matters is how it's built.

Our own rentrée is packed:

- The rebranding of Data Factory as Antimatter USA.

- New products and capacity for Hivenet.

- New Policloud units delivered worldwide.

We’re looking forward to an exciting Q4!

Data Factory, Hivenet and Policloud joined forces to form Antimatter a couple of months ago.

As of next week, Data Factory will be Antimatter USA 🇺🇲

At Data Factory, we’ve secured power, developed sites, deployed hardware, and kept it running. Now, we’re bringing that experience together with Policloud’s modular data centers and Hivenet’s cloud expertise.

Our ambition is clear: rewrites the stack — flexible power, modular data centers, and distributed cloud software — built for the AI inference era.

Antimatter USA carries that mission forward in the United States, building on the sites, projects and relationships we’ve developed as Data Factory.

For our customers, partners and suppliers, the people you work with and the commitments we’ve made remain the same. The work continues, with a broader team and a shared direction.

To everyone who has helped build Data Factory: thank you! This next chapter builds on your work and your trust.

We’re Antimatter USA. Let’s keep building! 🚀

We're excited to announce that our Group CMO Queenie Chan will be speaking at Tech Week Singapore, happening on September 29–30, 2026 at Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre.

Open weights are not open source. The weights tell you nothing about the training data, the pipeline, or how the model was actually built. You can run it. You cannot verify it. You cannot rebuild it.

Neither Washington nor Beijing wants that to change. Reproducibility would destroy their competitive moat, and that's a good news for Europe! That gap is an opening the continent should get into.

In his Les Echos tribune, David Gurle argues Europe should take these models as a starting point and build what the two superpowers never will: a genuinely transparent AI layer. GDPR and the AI Act are not an handicap, but a solid spec sheet.

As we say since day one: that transparent layer is the thesis Antimatter is built on.

Carlos Diaz and Stephanie Hospital (CEO & Founder of OneRagtime) take him from Microsoft, where he built IP communications as Bill Gates' technical assistant and right-hand man, to Symphony, the messaging layer most global banks run on. Seven companies. A Légion d'honneur. Then what he is building now with Antimatter: Hivenet, Policloud and Data Factory.

Three threads run through the episode:

- Why Hivenet bet against the direction of the entire storage market and survived when the rest did not

- Why he believes the cloud as we know it is already finished

- What Europe should do with its stranded energy, and where the SoftBank billions will actually end up

He has been early twice before and this episode is his case for the third time.

In a new South China Morning Post SCMP interview, Antimatter Group CMO and Hivenet CEO, Queenie Chan discusses the opportunity Chinese open-weight models are creating for a new kind of AI infrastructure.

Nobody should swap one dependency for another. The value of open-weight models is simpler: they change the economics of inference and widen the choice of what to run.

Last week in Les Echos, Antimatter CEO & co-founder David Gurle argued that rejecting Chinese models without building an alternative only deepens dependence on American infrastructure.

Queenie’s interview shows the next step: build the layer that makes choice operational.

Who can secure the energy?

Who can bring compute online fastest? Who can run the right model for each workload without locking customers into one ecosystem?

Europe's AI debate has narrowed to these two options and nothing else. Our CEO and Co-founder David Gurle argues the choice itself is the mistake.

Rejecting Chinese models without building an alternative does not create sovereignty. It reinforces the American monopoly a little more. A monopoly backed by $725 billion of AI infrastructure spend this year alone, up 77% in one year.

Europe cannot outspend that race. However, it can build on different ground: infrastructure that runs on its own strengths, its own rules, its own economics.

In the latest op-ed for Les Echos, David sets out to explain why Europe should cease replaying another person's race and should instead define its own course.

Antimatter was officially announced on April 21st, 2026.

In just a few months, a lot has happened.

A landmark €580M deal between with CloudGrid Energy and Policloud. New enterprise customers joining Hivenet, with a lot of new products in the works (and yes, some exciting hardware is coming 👀). Data Factory continuing to establish itself as a key player in energy and operations management.

However, our growth isn't only measured by customers, partnerships, or product launches.

A few weeks ago, something equally important happened.

For the very first time, 77 people from across Europe, North America, Middle-East and Asia gathered in Lisbon for Antimatter's first company-wide offsite! It was our first opportunity to have everyone in the same room-to meet colleagues we'd only known through Slack or video calls, align on where we're going, and strengthen the culture we're building together.

Over four days, we looked back at what we've built, shared the roadmaps for every business, explored how our different products fit into one vision, ran AI workshops, tackled cross-functional challenges, organized fun hackathons and had candid conversations with leadership about the future of the company.

The biggest takeaway?

Antimatter isn't a collection of companies: it's becoming one team, united by a shared mission.

We're still at the very beginning of the journey, but if Lisbon proved one thing, it's that we're building something much bigger than technology.

Watch us.

The numbers, and the discourse, now back it up. David Gurle, our co-founder and CEO, lays out what's changing and what it means.

The stack is near the top - you can raise here and still run on someone else's compute.

That thread ran through both our sessions at OneRagtime's Founders Day in Paris.

Queenie Chan, group CMO of Antimatter and CEO of Hivenet, opened the day with Stephanie Hospital on what is actually happening in Asian markets, from the ground rather than the reports.

David Gurle, our co-founder and group CEO, closed it with Carlos Diaz (Silicon Carne) and Stephanie Hospital on what it takes to build across Europe, the US and Asia at once.

Thanks to the whole OneRagtime team for the invitation, the organization, and for backing us from day one.
