Germany plans to sign a cooperation agreement with Huida to spend hundreds of millions of euros to accelerate the introduction of AI into the industrial field

German financial media "Handelsblatt" reported today, citing people familiar with the matter, that Germany plans to sign a wide-ranging cooperation agreement with US chip giant Huida to promote the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in German industry.

The report pointed out that the agreement will be announced at the "Invest in Germany" conference in Berlin next week, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will also attend the event.

"Business Daily" reported that this agreement has two major goals: first, to lay the foundation for "Physical AI" tools for training robots or self-driving cars; second, to assist in the development of high-performance AI models for industry.

Reports indicate that the investment scale involved in this agreement amounts to hundreds of millions of euros.

According to reports, this agreement will center on the SOOFI project. SOOFI is the Sovereign Open Source Foundation Models. It was launched in Germany last year to develop large-scale AI models in cooperation with research institutions, universities and AI companies.

The German government has yet to respond. Officials said last month that they are still committed to further improving AI capabilities to strengthen Europe's digital sovereignty. (Compiled by: Chen Yuting) 1151016
