Cerebras Systems is expanding its data center footprint into Europe, focussing on the Nordics and France.
The wafer-scale chip company and cloud provider has revealed that it is set to bring its first data center capacity online in Europe by the end of 2026, with build-out focussing on France and the Nordics. The company plans to expand total capacity to 200 MW by the end of 2027, with a portion of that capacity expected to support OpenAI workloads as part of the companies’ existing partnership.
"We are contracting significant capacity for 2027, with data centers slated for Norway and Finland as we actively build across Europe," said Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman.“ These deployments will enable us to move decisively on what our customers have been asking for: fast, high-performance AI compute located in Europe."
"Our customers don't just want AI compute. They want it close to home, powered responsibly, and available fast," added Feldman. "This expansion and capacity plan reflects our confidence in Europe as a long-term growth market for Cerebras."
As of yet, it's unclear which data center operators Cerebras will partner with in Europe.
