setloop.io/ UK & EU AI infrastructure consultancy

Production GPU infrastructure for AI factories, private AI, and distributed compute.

setloop.io helps organisations design, validate, build, and operate production GPU platforms for large-scale inference, training, fine-tuning, and secure enterprise AI.

The problem

GPU infrastructure fails when it is treated as ordinary cloud infrastructure.

Building an AI platform is not just buying GPUs. The hard problems are scheduling, network topology, storage throughput, cooling, power density, tenant isolation, model-serving latency, training resilience, observability, cost control, and security.

Most organisations discover these problems after procurement, when the architecture is already expensive to change.

This consultancy helps you make the right technical decisions before capital is committed, and then helps your teams deliver the platform into production.

Reference stack

An AI factory, viewed as a stack.

Every engagement begins by mapping the workload onto the seven layers of an AI factory — from facility through to applications. Each layer has measurable budgets: watts, tokens, dollars, latency, and risk.

Engagement models

Four ways to work together.

/01engagement

AI Infrastructure Assessment

Short diagnostic engagement. Review current architecture, facility assumptions, GPU procurement, network, storage, and operating model.

Output

Risk register, architecture recommendations, technical roadmap.

/02engagement

Reference Architecture & Build Plan

Design a production-ready GPU platform end to end.

Output

Architecture diagrams, component selection, deployment model, security model, observability model, delivery backlog.

/03engagement

Fractional AI Infrastructure Architect

Ongoing technical leadership for CTOs, founders, datacentre operators, and platform teams.

Output

Hands-on architecture, review, vendor management, engineering direction.

/04engagement

Technical Evaluation

Independent assessment of GPU infrastructure companies, AI platform claims, decentralised compute networks, or private AI architectures.

Output

Technical report, risk matrix, leadership questions, investment / procurement recommendation.

FAQ

Common questions.

No. The consultancy is strongest around NVIDIA-accelerated AI infrastructure, but the architecture process starts from workload, cost, facility, and operating requirements.
