Schwarz Group, the parent company of Lidl, plans to participate in building one of the EU's planned AI "gigafactories." Reports mention that such projects are part of Europe's push for local compute infrastructure, aiming to boost the supply of training and inference capacity.
The focus here isn't on the models themselves, but on compute infrastructure and industry players: traditional retail and conglomerate companies are also entering the AI infrastructure race.
