Abu Dhabi\u2019s AI firm <\/strong>G42<\/strong> is establishing a national-scale supercomputer in <\/strong>India<\/strong> in partnership with US AI chipmaker Cerebras, according to a press release<\/a>. The two are teaming up with India\u2019s Center for Development of Advanced Computing and the Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence on the project.<\/p>\n

The details: <\/strong>The project will include 8 exaflops of compute capacity, meaning it can operate at the current highest level of supercomputing power. Hardware will be hosted locally and operate under India\u2019s governance framework. The project aims to strengthen India\u2019s local data sovereignty and widen access to AI tools for local startups, small and medium enterprises, and government ministries.<\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT-<\/strong> The UAE and India inked a raft of agreements at the start of this year<\/a>, including a commitment to collaborate on a supercomputing cluster in India and to explore Emirati investment in India\u2019s data-center capacity as well as the feasibility of digital embassies. Earlier in December<\/a>, G42 launched Nanda, an 87B Hindi-English large language model, signaling a broader effort to localize AI development and reduce reliance on foreign digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n

ICYMI- This isn\u2019t the first supercomputer G42 is building for another country. <\/strong>In May<\/a>, the state AI firm inked an agreement with Italian AI startup iGenius to set up \u201cthe largest AI compute deployment in Europe,\u201d and later in July<\/a>, G42-owned Presight launched Kazakhstan\u2019s first national supercomputer. More recently, G42 said it plans to establish a sovereign AI cloud in France<\/a>, following on from a commitment to build an AI data center in Grenoble<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The move points to a growing push from Abu Dhabi to export its AI expertise<\/strong>, as well as draw in foreign investment to local AI megaprojects like the 5 GW UAE-US AI Campus<\/a> in the capital. Data center capacity in the UAE is set to jump 165% by 2028, with projects like Du\u2019s AED 2 bn hyperscale data center<\/a> and Khazna Data Centers\u2019 two new 30 MW builds<\/a> set to further boost capacity alongside G42\u2019s Stargate campus<\/a>, which is part of the wider 5 GW campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
