The European Union has ordered a high-performance computer for artificial intelligence from Bull AI, a French state-owned company, for 387.8 million euros. The computer will be installed in an existing data centre in Finland and is expected to start operating in the second half of 2027. It will be part of EuroHPC's network, which currently comprises 19 AI data centres with around a dozen supercomputers, including the "Jupiter" supercomputer at the Jülich research centre.
EuroHPC has a billion-euro budget and its infrastructure chief, Evangelos Floros, says the network will be expanded due to high demand.
