Towards More Efficient and Accessible AI Systems in Bavaria
MCML PI Björn Ommer was featured in a Tagesschau article on Bavaria’s new large-scale AI initiative, which includes more than €50 million in investment for high-performance Nvidia GPUs to support the development of a regional AI foundation model.
