By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Axel Berg, who is leading the procurement for the AI supercomputer and its associated data center, stated that the €64 million budget can no longer purchase the same hardware as planned 18 months ago. Consequently, the scale of the supercomputer will be smaller than originally envisioned. The exact location for the data center, which will house the supercomputer, is expected to be announced in September, with three potential sites in the Groningen province being considered. AI
