Europe's answer to Starlink: How European Space Agency wants to revolutionise space-based Internet
The European Space Agency (ESA) is studying how to build a spoof-proof mega-constellation of satellites to deliver "4K video in your pocket" broadband. ESA's proposed HydRON project will create a network of satellites linked together in space that transmit laser signals between themselves and a few optical networks on the ground, in what they call a "world first" for fibre in the sky. This project, they say, will deliver Internet speeds of roughly one terabyte per second.

Cloud provider CoreWeave to invest $2.2 bln in Europe
Specialized cloud provider CoreWeave said on Wednesday that it plans to invest an additional $2.2 billion in Europe to meet rising demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure, bringing its total investment in the region to $3.5 billion. The Nvidia-backed company plans to build three new data centers, each in Norway, Sweden and Spain by the end of 2025, it said. The investment is in addition to CoreWeave's $1.3 billion investment in the UK, where it has two data centers.

Microsoft miljardsatsar på AI i Sverige
Microsoft storsatsar på AI i Sverige. Den amerikanska techjätten investerar nästan 34 miljarder kronor på ”molninfrastruktur och AI” och ska ge 250 000 personer utbildning i tekniken. – AI kommer att förändra alla de branscher där svenska bolag är världsledande, säger Microsofts ordförande Brad Smith till TT. Sedan årsskiftet har Microsoft presenterat flera liknande satsningar i Tyskland, Japan och senast i Frankrike. Den här gången är det i Sverige som bolaget investerar 3,2 miljarder dollar, motsvarande 33,7 miljarder kronor.

Nu drar EU åt tumskruvarna runt energislukande datacenter
EU skärper regleringen kring datacenters energieffektivitet – från i höst krävs rapportering från alla som driver datacenter. Och med nya hållbarhetskrav kan regleringen snart bli mer omfattande. Tillsynsmyndigheterna riktar in sig på datacenter eftersom de beräknas förbruka 2-3 procent av all energi som används i EU, och eftersom AI-teknik som kräver mycket bearbetning driver efterfrågan på större datorkraft och fler datacenter.

Pocket-Sized AI Models Could Unlock a New Era of Computing
When ChatGPT was released in November 2023, it could only be accessed through the cloud because the model behind it was downright enormous. Research at Microsoft shows it’s possible to make AI models small enough to run on phones or laptops without major compromises to their smarts. The technique could open up new use cases for AI.

AI Needs Enormous Computing Power. Could Light-Based Chips Help?
Moore’s law is already pretty fast. It holds that computer chips pack in twice as many transistors every two years or so, producing major jumps in speed and efficiency. But the computing demands of the deep learning era are growing even faster than that — at a pace that is likely not sustainable. Recent results suggest that, for certain computational tasks fundamental to modern artificial intelligence, light-based “optical computers” may offer an advantage.
