Why We Only Use Infrastructure Powered by hosted.ai

There's no shortage of GPU providers. You could probably find a dozen marketplaces willing to sell you compute from whoever has spare capacity this week.

We took a different approach.

One Platform, One Standard

Every GPU on packet.ai runs on infrastructure powered by hosted.ai. Not some of them. All of them.

This isn't a limitation—it's a deliberate choice. Here's why it matters.

We Know Exactly What You're Getting

When you spin up a GPU on packet.ai, we know precisely what hardware you're running on. We know how it's configured. We know how the orchestration layer schedules your workloads. We know what happens when something goes wrong.

This isn't true for marketplaces that aggregate random providers. They're middlemen. When something breaks, they open a ticket with whoever actually owns the hardware and hope for the best.

We can actually fix problems. Because we understand the infrastructure end-to-end.

Standing Behind Our Partners

We work with datacenter partners who run hosted.ai's orchestration platform. These aren't anonymous providers we found on a spreadsheet. They're partners we've vetted, whose operations we understand, and whose quality we can vouch for.

When we say "99.9% uptime SLA," we mean it. We're not hoping our providers deliver—we know they will, because we've done the work to ensure it.

Empowering Infrastructure Partners

The GPU market has a problem: great datacenter operators often struggle to reach customers. They have excellent facilities, quality hardware, and strong operations—but no distribution.

Meanwhile, customers struggle to find reliable capacity. They bounce between providers, never quite trusting what they're getting.

hosted.ai solves this by giving datacenter partners a production-ready orchestration platform. packet.ai solves it by giving customers a single place to access that capacity with confidence.

We're not competing with our partners. We're their route to market. When they succeed, we succeed.

What This Means for You

Consistent experience. Every GPU on packet.ai works the same way. Same dashboard, same APIs, same tooling. No surprises when you scale across regions.

Accountable support. When you have an issue, we don't blame a third party. We own the problem and fix it.

Quality you can trust. We've done the due diligence so you don't have to. If it's on packet.ai, it meets our standards.

Transparent operations. We know the infrastructure intimately. We can give you honest answers about capacity, performance, and limitations.

The Alternative

You could use a marketplace that aggregates dozens of random providers. You might get lucky with pricing. You might also get:

• Inconsistent performance across providers
• Support tickets that disappear into a void
• Hardware that doesn't match the listing
• Providers that vanish without notice

We've seen teams waste weeks debugging "GPU issues" that turned out to be unreliable infrastructure from a provider they'd never heard of.

That's not a risk worth taking.

Building for the Long Term

We're not trying to be the biggest GPU marketplace. We're trying to be the most reliable one.

That means being selective about infrastructure. It means deep partnerships over shallow aggregation. It means standing behind what we sell.

Every GPU on packet.ai is powered by hosted.ai because that's the only way we can deliver the quality we promise.

If that sounds like the kind of infrastructure you need, give us a try.
