iGenius Announces NVIDIA-Powered Colosseum Supercomputer for Trillion-Parameter AI
NEW YORK and MILAN, Dec. 5, 2024 – iGenius, a pioneer in AI models for highly regulated industries, today announced it is deploying one of the world’s largest NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Superchips to support the deployment of advanced models for financial services, healthcare and public sector customers worldwide.
The iGenius Colosseum supercomputer will feature NVIDIA DGX GB200 systems containing thousands of NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Superchips designed for real-time trillion-parameter inference and training.
iGenius will use the Colosseum supercomputer to build advanced AI applications, including training open-source generative AI and trillion-plus-parameter large language models. Colosseum will be located in Europe and features state-of-the-art liquid cooling.
Colosseum will provide a foundation for the next phase of iGenius’ collaboration with NVIDIA to develop AI models to support industry use cases that require maximum data security, reliability and accuracy, such as financial consulting, patient services, and government planning.
Built with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, NVIDIA Nemotron models and the NVIDIA NeMo framework, the iGenius AI models will be offered as NVIDIA NIM microservices. iGenius plans to offer customers the option to deploy the models and microservices as fully managed applications that can include cloud-based or on-premises NVIDIA accelerated computing to meet industry and government regulations for AI.
In addition to advancing the research and development of iGenius models for highly regulated industries, Colosseum will serve as a collaboration hub, connecting enterprises, academic institutions, and policymakers to help ensure equitable access to AI technologies.
"We designed this supercomputer for unicorn use cases that can deliver $1 billion plus in value," said Uljan Sharka, CEO of iGenius. "Combining our expertise with NVIDIA accelerated computing and software helps unlock transformative opportunities to solve extraordinary, once-unsolvable challenges in finance, healthcare and government to serve customers worldwide."
Colosseum: A Hub for Sovereign AI and Regulated Industry Models
Leveraging the NVIDIA Blackwell platform, the Colosseum supercomputer offers a transformative leap in speed and energy efficiency. Colosseum addresses the growing computational demands of artificial intelligence with a claimed 25x greater energy efficiency than prior-generation NVIDIA computing platforms — all while boosting Global computational capacity for AI workloads.
Built on the NVIDIA DGX accelerated computing platform, Colosseum is designed to integrate seamlessly with iGenius’ specialized AI models, including its GPT for Numbers, a proprietary AI architecture designed to minimize hallucinations in support of mission-critical use cases that involve financial data, customer information and intellectual property. Among the first to adopt iGenius models are world-leading financial asset and wealth management companies, including F100 global financial institutions.
Sovereign AI infrastructure is a key pillar of AI-driven transformation, and Colosseum is expected to pave the way for transparent AI development, helping enable sovereign AI deployments. By addressing the unique demands of sectors where precision, reliability, privacy and safety are paramount, the system can serve as the foundation for establishing new standards for AI-driven innovation in regulated environments.
This democratization of computational power helps lay the groundwork for innovation across sectors and is expected to foster advancements across industries while driving sustainable growth worldwide.
