The European Commission has launched a call for tenders to publicly finance up to seven AI gigafactories in Europe, as Brussels races to build sovereign infrastructure to train advanced AI models and catch up with global tech competitors.
AI gigafactories are large-scale computing facilities equipped with state-of-the-art, highly specialised chips designed to train the next generation of AI technologies – notably the most advanced large language models, which require crunching trillions of data points.
