##  Turbocharging AI Development
AI has ushered in a new way of building technology, pushing the boundaries of what's possible and making advanced tools available to everyone.
With the increasing demand for large-scale AI models, Scaleway has emerged as a regional alternative to global cloud competitors, offering secure, scalable, and energy-efficient AI services. The company built the Nabuchodonosor 2023 AI supercomputer—known as Nabu—in just two months. Powered by NVIDIA DGX, Nabu gives European companies the computing power they need to train large language models \(LLMs\) and other transformer models, making Scaleway the first to offer this within the European market.
Scaleway’s commitment to data sovereignty is a key differentiator. Its AI infrastructure complies with stringent data protection laws, like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation \(GDPR\), ensuring that European businesses can securely manage their data without compromising privacy or control.

##  Building the Future: The Nabu Supercomputer
Scaleway’s [NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/dgx-superpod/)™ AI supercomputer delivers unparalleled performance for AI workloads. Powered by 1,016 [NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/h100/) and 127 NVIDIA [DGX H100](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/dgx-h100/) systems, Nabu offers European businesses access to a turnkey solution capable of supporting the most demanding machine learning tasks. [NVIDIA NVLink](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/nvlink/)™ technology provides high-bandwidth connectivity between GPUs, while the Quantum-2 InfiniBand platform ensures ultra-fast communication, minimizing latency and maximizing model training efficiency.
In collaboration with NVIDIA and partners like PNY and DDN, Scaleway achieved the fastest implementation ever of this complex hardware infrastructure. As a result, Scaleway’s customers experience unmatched efficiency in their AI workflows, significantly reducing time to market for new models.
##  Pioneering AI Models
[Mistral AI](https://www.scaleway.com/en/ai-supercomputers/) used Nabu to develop Mixtral, a mixture-of-experts model that outperformed closed and open-weight models across most benchmarks. Mixtral’s ability to achieve superior performance with fewer active parameters makes it a major innovation in the field of AI research. The collaboration with Scaleway enabled Mistral to scale its training efficiently, allowing Mixtral to achieve groundbreaking results in record time.
Similarly, Kyutai leveraged Nabu to train [Moshi](https://moshi.chat/), the first open-source real-time conversational AI model. Moshi can process 70 different emotions and accents in real time with ultra-low latency, delivering seamless, human-like conversations. Made possible by Scaleway’s high-performance environment, Moshi represents a huge leap forward for voice-enabled AI.
**Benefits of Using NVIDIA DGX:**
 * Reduction in downtime
 * Cost savings and increased revenues
 * Uninterrupted workflows
 * Higher customer satisfaction
 * Increased productivity and operational efficiency
##  Data Sovereignty and Energy Efficiency
Scaleway is committed to data privacy and environmental sustainability. By using NVIDIA DGX systems, built on the advanced Hopper™ architecture, Scaleway offers scalable and cost-efficient AI services that meet Europe’s stringent data privacy standards. For example, [Free Pro](https://pro.free.fr/) uses Scaleway’s Jero 2023 supercomputer—a smaller version of Nabu—to scale operations while maintaining full control over data, highlighting Scaleway’s dedication to European data sovereignty.
Both Nabu and Jero are hosted in Scaleway’s DC5 data center in Paris, one of the most energy-efficient data centers in Europe. DC5 uses advanced adiabatic cooling systems, reducing electricity consumption by 30–40% and using 9–10X less water than traditional data centers. This results in a significantly lower carbon footprint for AI services, ensuring that Scaleway’s innovations not only meet performance demands but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
"At Scaleway, we believe that combining cutting-edge performance with sovereignty and sustainability is not just a technical challenge—it's our mission to empower European businesses to lead in the global AI revolution."
