"Europe's fastest supercomputer has officially booted up in western Germany as Europe looks to catch up to the US and China in the race for AI." "Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the Jupiter supercomputer will open new possibilities for training A-I models and scientific simulations. He hailed the machine as a symbol of Germany's leading role in the technological revolution, and said he hopes to turn the country into an 'AI nation'."
I don't really know much about this particular computer, but the design appears to be the first aimed speeding processor cores, instead of gpus, which makes perfect sense considering all the optical interconnects they're all using now, which can crunch almost all the numbers for things like AI. In other words, nobody has a clue what this machine is for, but the exoscale compute means they should be able to increase that, by about a thousand at the rate things are going. Just by bolting on quantum and other optical interconnects, they could produce a monster AI. What they're tell us about, is the cheaper hardware. Darpa is doing the same thing, and getting creative. Everybody wants to own the next supercomputer architecture, that fits in a shoe-box, and that you can bolt onto any server. Its the telecoms. Everyone getting hacked is funding the immediate development of a quantum internet.
