LightOn, a Paris company founded in 2016, and Oreus, a Marseille-based AI operator, announced on Nov 17, 2025 that they had signed a multi-year partnership agreement. LightOn filed the announcement with the AMF, France’s financial markets regulator, under the label “inside information”, which exists for news that may move a listed company’s share price.1^,2^,3^,4^,5

The companies said Oreus would provide LightOn with next-generation GPU infrastructure hosted in its data center in Eybens (Isère), a site the release said ensured 100% French hosting. LightOn, for its part, would use Oreus’s GPUs for research, development and production, and would also handle integration and customer support for enterprise users. Oreus would distribute Paradigm, LightOn’s enterprise generative AI platform, under a white-label model. The companies said the partnership included the possibility of extending to future generations of GPUs as they became available.6^,7^,8^,9^,10

The companies presented the arrangement as a sovereign, secure and compliant alternative to international cloud services for French companies and institutions. The release described Paradigm as recognized for its compliance with GDPR, the EU’s data protection law, and for its adaptability to complex business requirements. It described Oreus.ai as founded in 2025 by a consortium of entrepreneurs and as France’s first sovereign AI operator. Oreus’s offering, as listed there, also includes Oreus Studio, which develops generative agents, Oréus Vox, an AI store for sovereign models and agents, and Oreus Campus, training and adoption programs.11^,12^,13^,14^,15^,16^,17

LightOn chief executive Igor Carron said the partnership gave Oreus users access to generative AI deployed close to their data, and that it guaranteed the sovereignty needed to protect their know-how and corporate culture. Oreus president Laurent Choukroun called it a decisive step for French AI and said that pairing Oreus’s computing infrastructure and agent distribution platform with LightOn’s technology gave companies and institutions a turnkey solution.18^,19^,20^,21^,22

The text of the release we hold gives no financial terms for the agreement, no start date for the hosting or the distribution, and no named customers. That text is the companies’ own announcement, and we hold none of the documents it refers to.23
