We build the inference layer Europe needs.
ARK Labs builds inference software that serves frontier open-weight models across many GPUs and machines, in the customer's data centre, in their region, under their own rules. We build for the banks, insurers, hospitals and public bodies that cannot send their data to someone else's cloud, and for the clouds that serve them.

Inference is becoming infrastructure. Infrastructure requires control.
Enable any organisation to run secure, high-performance inference on its own terms.
We help enterprises and AI builders run inference across their own data centres and European clouds, keeping privacy, resilience and full control.
Frontier models on the hardware you can get, wherever you need them.
An inference layer where any organisation can serve frontier open models with the performance and control of the largest cloud providers.
Three principles behind ARK.
The model is not a monolith.
A large model can be split across many GPUs and machines, so the size of one card does not decide what you can run.
The cluster is fluid.
Servers join and leave a running deployment, and models appear in the API as soon as they are served.
GPUs are shared resources.
Every GPU serves many requests at once, so capacity follows traffic rather than fixed allocations.
A small team, pointed at a large problem.
ARK is led by a senior team with backgrounds in inference systems and enterprise go-to-market, with engineers building the runtime every day.
Andreas Hestbeck
Runs commercial strategy, enterprise partnerships and fundraising, and leads ARK's go-to-market across Western Europe.
Lukasz Zbrzeźny
Leads technical vision, runtime architecture and engineering, and owns the performance, reliability and security of the ARK platform.
We hire senior, technical people across engineering, go-to-market and infrastructure. Careers
Backed by people who build infrastructure.
ARK is supported by early investors who connect us with regulated and public-sector organisations across Central and Eastern Europe. If you invest in European deep tech or sovereign AI, we would like to talk.
