Bringing AI Closer to You
We have been busy expanding our AI offerings, and we are excited to share what’s new! As a hosting provider, we know how important it is to offer AI hardware that’s both powerful and accessible. That’s why we have developed a multi-tier AI offering so you can leverage AI without breaking the bank.
We have partnered with French Mistral AI, Europe’s leading AI company, to bring you cutting-edge models that align with our focus on safety and EU compliance. In fact, we use Mistral’s models ourselves, including Le Chat and other API-accessible models. We also support a wide range of other AI providers to fit your unique needs.

Update: Mistral has just released its new Medium 3.5 open-source 128B model, featuring a 256K context window. This is now the largest open-source model available outside of China. Asergo can host this model for you, enabling compliance with the new EU AI Act, which will be fully operational on August 2, 2026.
1.58-Bit LLMs: New, Exciting, and Powerful AI—Without the Premium Price Tag
We are exploring the potential of 1.58-bit LLMs, a technology that enables advanced AI capabilities without the need for excessive infrastructure investment.
1.58-bit LLMs utilize innovative quantization techniques to minimize resource demands, offering you:
- Deploy AI on modest hardware to avoid the expense of high-end servers.
- Operate private LLMs within your own environment to ensure compliance with European data regulations.
- Maintain accuracy and speed, even on cost-effective infrastructure.
This technology requires tailored Linux kernels and different hardware for optimal performance. However, we are already addressing these requirements, so you can focus on leveraging AI to drive your business forward.
We are actively testing and refining 1.58-bit LLMs to meet reliability and performance standards. Once ready, Asergo will introduce a 1.58-bit LLM product, allowing you to benefit from private, cost-effective AI without compromise.

Cluster Upgrade Manager: New Kubernetes Version
You can now upgrade your clusters to Kubernetes 1.36 using the Cluster Upgrade Manager in your Dashboard. The 1.36 release enhances stability and performance, keeping your deployments running smoothly.
2025 Kubernetes Uptime Performance
In 2025, across all Asergo and customer production clusters demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving an operational control uptime of 99.991% and a cluster uptime of 99.999% following a year of continuous monitoring. These results align with our ISO 27001 objectives, ensuring uninterrupted access to the cluster API backplane for system administrators and continuous availability for end-users.
We expect to see even better uptime results for 2026.
