🔥 BREAKING

The European Commission formally opened its call for "AI Gigafactory" proposals — seven planned sites, each housing at least 100,000 AI chips, roughly four times the scale of any data center currently running in the EU. It's backing €10 billion in public funding, aiming for €30 billion once private investment joins in. An earlier informal call already drew 77 proposals from 16 member states and 60 sites. Bidding closes November 12, with awards expected by mid-2027.

⚡️ Why it matters: while the US argument has been "which private company builds the biggest data center," Europe just answered a different question entirely — treating AI infrastructure as public infrastructure, the way it treats power grids or rail. Whether that's the right call is a real debate, but it's the first time a government bloc this size has bet this much of its own money on catching up rather than just regulating from the sidelines.
