Nvidia plans modular data centers for European AI infrastructure
Wired AI: Jensen Huang’s Vision for Europe Runs on Plug-In Data Centers
At Nvidia’s GTC in Berlin, Huang unveiled their new plug-in data center—the DSX Pod—as the key to unlocking Europe’s AI infrastructure lag. Oh, and autonomous humanoid robotics.
Get smart on it
Nvidia's chief executive outlined a vision for Europe's AI future centered on modular data centers called DSX Pods, which arrive fully assembled in metal containers and can be operational in 14 days rather than months or years. The DSX Pods are designed to address Europe's historically slow infrastructure development while reducing idle computing time. The executive also announced plans for humanoid robotics platforms and partnerships with European automakers, positioning Nvidia as a core technology provider across multiple industries relying on AI systems.

The Huawei-DeepSeek Symbiosis
Right before China’s national day holidays, DeepSeek released Ascend support for TileLang, DeepGEMM, DeepEP, TileKernels, FlashMLA, and DeepSelect.Neither can do this alone. Although they have Pangu, Huawei has no frontier lab to prove their chip can train or infer models, DeepSeek has models but cannot buy the compute it needs. Each supplies exactly what the other lacks: Huawei provides the hardware and native software stack; DeepSeek brings the workloads and engineering needed to make th

European Leaders Turn to NVIDIA Vera CPUs to Build Local Infrastructure
Nebius and Nscale are among global technology partners looking to NVIDIA Vera CPUs to build the next wave of infrastructure. Their momentum reflects rapid advancements in agentic computing. Agents do more than generate answers: they retrieve information, run software tools, execute code and evaluate results. Each step depends on fast CPU processing. Vera accelerates that work, helping agents respond faster and enabling data centers to make better use of computing capacity. Vera is designed to
Google Cloud and NVIDIA Announce General Availability of NVIDIA Vera Rubin Infrastructure
General availability of the instances is coming next month, with planned expansion of availability to Europe — bringing an integrated platform for training, inference and large-scale reinforcement learning to cloud customers. A5X instances bring together NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, NVIDIA ConnectX-9 SuperNICs, Google Cloud Virgo Network and Google Cloud’s fourth-generation advanced liquid-cooling technology for demanding agentic inference and reinforcement learning workloads at scale.
