Exabits operates as a bare-metal provider, primarily surfacing its capacity through marketplaces rather than a direct-access cloud. The provider is associated with a cryptocurrency project which seems to provide funding for GPUs through staking.

We attempted to provision Exabits instances via the PaleBlueDot.ai marketplace, where it is listed alongside other providers such as Digital Ocean, Massed, and Nebius. During our testing window, unfortunately no Exabits capacity was available to provision from this platform.

Lacking an accessible self-service platform or available marketplace instances, we were unable to evaluate Exabits against any core criteria, including orchestration (Slurm/Kubernetes), multi-node networking, security, or monitoring.
