EU isn’t keeping up with US and China investments, AI arms dealer says
European nations need to invest more in artificial intelligence if they want to close the gap between the US and China, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said during a visit to Copenhagen on Wednesday to inaugurate Denmark's shiny new Gefion supercomputer.Naturally, Huang believes the vehicle for closing this gap is AI infrastructure, specifically Nvidia GPUs.
However, Gefion is billed as Denmark's"largest sovereign AI supercomputer," which means it is likely to spend a lot more time running at far lower precision. At FP8 the machine boasts roughly 6 exaFLOPS of sparse AI performance, though for training, the system is more likely to use dense 16-bit data types. At that precision the system is still quite powerful claiming 1.5 exaFLOPS of total system performance.
For Nvidia, the system appears to be a sales pitch to other European nations about the value of"sovereign AI."
