EU Selects EUROPA Consortium to Develop Sovereign AI Model

The European Commission announced the EUROPA Consortium, led by Italian enterprise Domyn, as the winner of the Frontier AI Grand Challenge. The project receives support from a dedicated 6,000-chip NVIDIA Blackwell cluster and aims to build an open-source model with over 400 billion parameters.

The European Commission announced the EUROPA Consortium as the winner of the Frontier AI Grand Challenge. Led by Italian enterprise Domyn, the consortium is tasked with building a sovereign, open-source artificial intelligence model for Europe. The project receives support from a specialized cluster of 6,000 NVIDIA Blackwell chips. The goal is to develop a large language model with parameter scale exceeding 400 billion. This initiative aims to reduce European dependence on American AI technology. The model will maintain open-source characteristics, allowing European research institutions and enterprises to access and utilize it broadly. The project is scheduled to begin initial model training in the second half of 2026. Experts view this initiative as strategically significant for European technological autonomy.
