Nvidia and Deutsche Telekom Launch €1 Billion AI Data Center in Munich
Nvidia and Deutsche Telekom have formed a €1 billion partnership to establish an "Industrial AI Cloud" data center in Munich, aiming to increase Germany's AI computing capacity by 50%. The facility will deploy over 1,000 Nvidia DGX B200 systems with up to 10,000 Blackwell GPUs to provide AI inferencing services to German companies while adhering to data sovereignty requirements. Operations are expected to begin in early 2026, with early partners including Agile Robots, Perplexity, and SAP.
Skynet Chance (+0.01%): Increased AI compute infrastructure expands the potential for more powerful AI systems to be deployed, but the focus on regulated, sovereign infrastructure with known partners provides some oversight mechanisms. The net effect is a marginal increase in capability deployment with moderate governance.
Skynet Date (-1 days): Large-scale deployment of 10,000 advanced Blackwell GPUs accelerates the availability of high-performance AI inferencing infrastructure, making powerful AI systems more accessible to industrial applications sooner. This represents meaningful acceleration of AI capability deployment in Europe.
AGI Progress (+0.02%): Deployment of large-scale GPU infrastructure with Nvidia's latest Blackwell architecture represents significant expansion of compute resources available for advanced AI development and deployment. The 50% increase in Germany's AI computing power enables more ambitious AI research and applications.
AGI Date (-1 days): The €1 billion investment in cutting-edge GPU infrastructure with 10,000 Blackwell GPUs accelerates the timeline by making advanced compute more readily available for AI development starting in early 2026. This infrastructure expansion removes compute bottlenecks that could slow AGI research progress.
