✨ More exciting developments at Nebius – today we announced that we are tripling the capacity of our data center in Mäntsälä, Finland, a state-of-the-art location with strong green credentials. ⚡ The current expansion phase will enable us to place up to 60,000 GPUs at the Mäntsälä location alone, with annual revenue potential of over USD 1 billion at full capacity utilization. 🌍 The expansion in Finland will include deployment of NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs, which will be available to customers from November, in addition to already installed NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs that form the backbone of our fleet of NVIDIA GPUs. Nebius will also be one of the first providers in Europe to bring the state-of-the-art, energy-efficient NVIDIA Blackwell platform to customers in 2025. As Andrey Korolenko, Head of Infrastructure at Nebius, said: “Tripling capacity at our flagship site in Finland is an important step in our build-out of best-in-class AI infrastructure in Europe. Our data center at Mäntsälä is our ‘home base’ and showcases our ambition and the technical capabilities of the Nebius team, as well as our approach to adopting sustainability principles in our infrastructure. The capacity we are adding here during this expansion phase will enable us to better serve growing demand from AI builders globally.” Read more 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eXTZ7V3G

🤝 Sifted Summit: let’s meet in London next week We’re sure there will be many interesting conversations happening around us at the summit. But most of all, we’re looking forward to the panel discussion, "The Age of AI: What's Next for Europe?", with our Business Development Director Rashid Ivaev among the speakers. Come to the main stage on Oct 2 at 17:00 to hear it. Given our ambitious developments in Europe — just yesterday, we’ve announced investment plans and the opening of the Paris GPU cluster — this session will definitely be relevant and insightful. As usual, you’re welcome to visit our booth to speak with Rashid and other experts. We'll be there throughout the entire event. #conferences #summits #booth #Europe

🇫🇷 Nebius launches its first GPU cluster in France Our first Paris data center presence is a colocation deployment based at Equinix’s PA10 campus in the Saint-Denis district of the French capital. Thanks to the sustainability initiatives in place at the site, waste heat generated by Nebius’ servers will be used to warm the urban farm established by Equinix on the facility’s roof. We’ve included some photos in our blog post: https://lnkd.in/ey8FYJSk The Paris facility will be the first equipped solely with Nebius-designed servers from day one — we are no longer using third-party servers or racks. Thanks to the efforts of our hardware R&D team in optimizing processes, setting up the equipment and deploying systems to a user-ready state will take only two months. The data center in France will receive the first client workloads in November 2024. #Paris #datacenters #clusters #GPUs

We are excited to announce the launch of a new #GPU cluster in Paris as part of our plans to invest more than USD 1 billion by mid-2025 in #AI infrastructure in Europe. 👉 The investments include the expansion of our data center in Finland; additional capacity deployments through colocations; and new-build GPU clusters at greenfield sites;  👉 Paris cluster will be one of the first in Europe to offer NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs; 👉 The investments – which include approximately USD 200 million deployed since the beginning of this year – will enable us to reach total capacity of tens of thousands of GPUs to bring its highly differentiated AI cloud offering to customers worldwide. Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of Nebius, said: “We work in a new industry which requires both deep technology and significant capital. Our data center in Finland already provides the latest high-performance compute, tools and services to AI developers around the world. The addition of our new GPU cluster in Paris is the next step in our plan to expand Europe’s AI capacity as we develop Nebius into a leading global AI infrastructure company.” Read more 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e_63y-QQ

Today we are introducing another member of the Nebius Group family: Toloka, a data partner for generative AI developers worldwide. Huge demand from AI developers is driving the rapid growth of a new market for training data that is expected to grow at more than 40% CAGR for next five years. Producing high-quality, human annotated data at scale is a complex task and one of the bottlenecks of modern AI development. Founded in 2014, Toloka is one of the few companies set up to capture this opportunity. Led by founder and CEO Olga Megorskaya, the Toloka team has a rare combination of expertise and technological infrastructure to build robust and high-quality human data operations at scale. This deep expertise has many applications. Earlier this week, for example, the team unveiled Beemo, a new cutting-edge benchmark for detecting AI-generated texts, with partners including Penn State University and the University of Oslo.  Follow Toloka to learn more. #Toloka #Nebius 

🚀 Exciting News: Toloka and Top Universities Launch Innovative Benchmark for Detecting AI-Generated Texts! We’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking collaboration between the University of Oslo, Penn State University, and Toloka, unveiling Beemo, a cutting-edge benchmark to revolutionize AI text detection. This new benchmark, created by experts from leading institutions, offers a robust, realistic testing environment for AI text detectors. Beemo is designed using LLMs like LLaMA and expert human annotators, challenging detectors to differentiate between purely machine-generated texts and human-edited ones, reflecting real-world scenarios. Why is this important? Detecting AI-generated content is crucial for:  1️⃣ Maintaining data integrity, 2️⃣ Addressing ethical and legal concerns, 3️⃣ Enhancing the reliability of AI systems. Adaku Uchendu from MIT Lincoln Labs emphasizes the importance of distinguishing artificial texts from human-written ones to protect the integrity of our information ecosystem. Meanwhile, Preslav Nakov from MBZUAI (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence) highlights the challenge of detecting hybrid texts co-authored by humans and AI, as they can be particularly deceptive. With contributions from top NLP researchers such as Vladislav Mikhailov, Saranya Venkatraman, Jason Lucas, M.Sc., MPH, Ph.D (cand), MPH, Ph.D (cand), Jooyoung Lee, and more. As AI evolves, this benchmark is a vital tool for NLP practitioners and researchers. It sets new standards for AI-generated content detection and paves the way for future innovations. Beemo is now available for public use on: GitHub: https://lnkd.in/dksfBKFD Hugging Face: https://lnkd.in/dp4db-gt Let’s continue pushing the boundaries of AI together!
