Fluidstack and Macquarie Partner to Finance GPUs for AI Labs in Europe

Fluidstack and Macquarie Asset Management have announced a strategic GPU financing deal to supply GPUs to leading AI research labs across Europe, announced in a press release. This partnership allows AI labs to access cutting-edge compute resources without the burden of long-term contracts.

The financing structure, secured by the GPUs themselves, enables Fluidstack to provide AI compute to customers like Mistral, Character.AI, and Poolside. This flexibility is crucial as AI labs scale their infrastructure for training and deploying next-generation models.

Fluidstack and Macquarie plan to expand their collaboration, focusing on developing new financing models tailored to the unique needs of AI companies. Both organizations see Europe as a significant opportunity for future investments in AI infrastructure, particularly as the region accelerates its adoption of advanced AI technologies.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
