Cerebras Systems plans to build out a major artificial intelligence data center network in Europe, marking its first entry in the market to partially power local workloads for OpenAI.
The AI infrastructure company on Thursday said that it will bring its first European data center capacity online by the end of the year, with what it describes as a rapid build-out across France and the Nordic countries of Finland and Norway.
By the end of 2027, the company plans to expand total capacity to 200 megawatts, a portion of which is expected to support workloads of OpenAI, the AI company behind ChatGPT, as part of the companies' existing partnership.
Cerebras said it is responding to growing demand for local, low-latency AI infrastructure from European enterprises, research institutions and governments whose main alternatives are otherwise in Asia or in the U.S.
Shares traded nearly 11% higher at $192.45 in premarket trading Thursday.
