Nvidia announces $250 million UK computing donation and $2 billion European investment

Nvidia announced that it will provide the United Kingdom with $50 million a year for five years in access to computing capacity, totaling $250 million. The company says the resources will support research into the safety and protection of AI agents, including work by the BOLD laboratory at Oxford, SOFAIR and Imperial College. The computing capacity will be hosted in the UK through local cloud partners, but the providers, technical architecture and commercial terms have not yet been agreed.

During a European tour, CEO Jensen Huang also announced $2 billion in investments on the continent, according to Bloomberg, as reported by Xataka. Part of the funding will go to French startups Doctolib, Genesis AI, Pigment and Entalpic. Huang advocated open models that can be adapted to languages and sovereignty needs, while Nvidia says its OpenShell and Sentry software and designs will be used in the safety research.
