The EUs supercomputer alliance yesterday announced the winners of its AI startup competition.
Four companies will split 1mn and precious uptime on world-class high-performance computer systems to train their models.
Training and runningAIrequires massive amounts of computational resources.
Elon Musk is on track to build a massive Nvidia-based supercomputer for xAI, his new artificial intelligence startup.
It is no secret that the EU has been pushing hard for what it calls digital sovereignty.
Moreover, it has vowed to make its supercomputers available to European AIstartups.
Naturally, these startups cant just rock up and demand time on the nodes.
To that end, EuroHPC last year launched a competition called the Large AI Grand Challenge.
On Wednesday, it announced the four winners that will share the cash prize of 1mn.
Having access to such powerful systems reduces large AI model training time from years to weeks.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
