GPU cloud provider Fluidstack has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the French government to build an AI supercomputer in the country which will be one of the world’s largest low-carbon AI supercomputers. The facility set to house the system will offer 1GW of dedicated AI compute and will be powered by “France’s abundant, carbon-free, and predominantly nuclear energy."
“This partnership allows us to rapidly develop the infrastructure needed to support the next wave of AI innovations. Partnering with the French government and global industry leaders, we are creating the most advanced computing capabilities in the world—right here in France,” said Cesar Maklary, co-founder and president of Fluidstack. “France’s commitment to digital and energy sovereignty makes it the ideal location for such an ambitious project, and I am very proud to be playing a key part in this initiative.”
French President, Emmanuel Macron, added: “France is the leading European country in artificial intelligence. Since 2017, we have trained our talents, developed our research, and strengthened our key players in healthcare, space, defense, and large language models. We have a role to play because our nuclear energy is controllable, safe, stable, and decarbonized—ideal for expanding our AI computing capabilities.”
