This is the sort of thing we were referring to in January 20's "Advanced Micro Devices to Build 2 New Supercomputers in Germany (AMD)": "Taking a page out of Nvidia's playbook."
Nvidia wants every language to have its own large language model. And they want every country to have an Nvidia powered supercomputer (or five) to train and run the LLM on.
From the South China Morning Post, February 2:
- Nations including India, Japan, France and Canada are talking about investing in ‘sovereign AI capabilities’, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang said
- A national approach to the artificial intelligence boom stands to drive an expansion of data centres that would need Nvidia’s know-how and hardware
Nvidia Corp chief executive Jensen Huang said countries around the world aiming to build and run their own artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure at home will drive up demand for his company’s products.Nations including India, Japan, France and Canada are talking about the importance of investing in “sovereign AI capabilities”, Huang said in an interview on Thursday with Bloomberg Television. “Their natural resource – data – should be refined and produced for their country. The recognition of sovereign AI capabilities is global”.At the time of the interview, Huang was in Canada, which itself is home to a number of academic institutions that have significantly contributed to breakthroughs in the type of generative AI systems that power tools such as OpenAI’s popular ChatGPT.Canada now finds itself with a growing need for the supercomputers necessary to capitalise on the work of its academics, he said....

Bi-lingual Canada is good but multi-lingual India is Mr. Huang's dream country.
PM Modi's people should ask for two free supercomputers upfront as part of a five 'puter order.
And side dishes. Maybe a billion dollars worth of gaming chips.
