NVIDIA advances AI layout in Europe: Cooperates with Deutsche Telekom to build industrial AI cloud services.

German Telekom and NVIDIA announced on Friday that they will collaborate to create an industrial artificial intelligence cloud service for European manufacturers in Germany, which will be the first project of its kind. They stated that the implementation of the industrial artificial intelligence cloud is expected to be completed as early as 2026. The statement mentioned that NVIDIA will provide 10,000 chips for the site, while German Telekom will be responsible for providing infrastructure and will take on duties such as data center, operations, sales, security, and artificial intelligence solutions. NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun announced earlier this week the location for this plan in Germany and met with German Chancellor Merkel on Friday. During a visit to Paris, NVIDIA announced several European AI infrastructure cooperation projects, including a collaboration with French AI startup Mistral to build an "AI cloud platform." The service, called Mistral Compute, will be powered by 18,000 of NVIDIA's latest Grace Blackwell chips and will initially be located in a data center in the department of Hautes-Alpes in France, with plans to expand to other regions in Europe in the future.
