OVHcloud plans to train frontier AI models - the most advanced, large-scale systems built from scratch using vast data and computing power - its CEO said on Wednesday, positioning the firm as a potential European challenger to Mistral.
The move marks a shift for OVHcloud, Europe's largest cloud provider, as governments and companies seek alternatives to U.S. and Chinese AI systems - a search made more pressing by the recent abrupt switch-off of Anthropic's top-tier models.
