Summary
OVHcloud presented its results on 20 October 2026, a year after the return of its founder Octave Klaba, with year-on-year growth of 7.2%, well behind the US hyperscalers (37% for AWS, 42% for Azure, 82% for Google Cloud). The group announces an in-house LLM, trained internally and released as open source at the end of November, geared towards cybersecurity, code and agentic AI for finance, HR, legal and logistics. These uses will first be developed for OVHcloud's own internal needs, then possibly offered to customers facing similar issues. Octave Klaba is targeting a worldwide customer base of technology companies, including small ones (ten to one hundred employees) with a large cloud budget (five to ten million euros a year), and warns against dependence on US providers, which could eventually compete with their own customers.
