Sferical AI: Sweden’s Sovereign AI Supercomputer with Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments

Sferical AI: Sweden’s Sovereign AI Supercomputer with Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments

AstraZeneca, Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments have launched Sferical AI to build and operate a sovereign AI supercomputer that anchors Sweden's next phase of industrial digitization. Sferical AI plans to deploy two NVIDIA DGX Super PODs based on the latest DGX GB300 systems in Linkping. The installation will combine 1,152 tightly interconnected GPUs, designed for fast training and fine-tuning of large, complex models. Sovereign infrastructure addresses data residency, IP protection, and regulatory alignment, while reducing exposure to public cloud capacity swings. For Swedish and European firms navigating GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific rules like DORA in finance, a trusted, high-performance platform can accelerate AI adoption without compromising compliance.

Nvidia halts H20 AI chips for China amid security review

Nvidia halts H20 AI chips for China amid security review
Nvidia has reportedly paused production activities tied to its H20 data center AI GPUs for China as Beijing intensifies national-security scrutiny, clouding a long-anticipated reentry into the market. Multiple suppliers have been asked to suspend work related to the H20, Nvidia’s made-for-China accelerator designed to meet U.S. export rules. The pause arrives shortly after Washington signaled it would grant export licenses for the H20, reversing an earlier halt that triggered unsold inventory write downs at Nvidia. The H20 is Nvidia’s linchpin for retaining a foothold in the worlds second-largest AI market; any prolonged disruption has material revenue and ecosystem consequences.
