Sesterce H100s Phase 1 is a large GPU cluster operated by Sesterce, in the private sector. It came online around July 2024. At that moment it ranked number 48 among known clusters.

It is built on 2,048 NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB. That amounts to about 2K H100e of AI compute. The cluster draws roughly 2.92 MW. Its hardware is estimated at $73M.

Epoch AI rates the certainty of this record as likely. Unclear exactly where this cluster is located. This is likely the early phases of the Paris 4k H100 cluster, but it's unclear
