Dedicated to medical research. They also have a large investment in quantum computing.

"medical research"? Yes, that's it.

In Terminator 2

" John Connor: You know what you're doing?

The Terminator: I have detailed files on human anatomy.

Sarah Connor: I'll bet. Makes you a more efficient killer, right?

The Terminator: Correct.

how is 1500 H100's considered "one of the worlds most powerful AI supercomputers" ? i dont get how that adds up. meta got 150.000 H100's delivered in 2023 alone?

ONE of the worlds most powerful AI supercomputers - I think it would get on the first page of the (November) top 500 list: https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/list/2023/11/

Rehoboam from Westworld is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear "supercomputer" now. What a terrible last season the show got!

Jensen must be rubbing his hands in his leather jacket

Not for long since H100 are now a previous much slower generation.

Still, good for a country to have it's own on-prem AI supercomputer than being at the mercy of foreign cloud providers who can terminate you at any time because your research breaks some obscure and vague ToS they made up.

But don't they already have the EuroHPC infrastructure?

I had no idea about that. But from the article it seems it's focused more for Danish domestic tech companies rather than EU.
