With a capacity of 125.9 petaflops, this system can execute 125.9 trillion operations per second, making it one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Jean Zay supercomputer project<\/h2>\n\n<p>Operated by <em>IDRIS <\/em>of the <strong>CNRS <\/strong>and acquired by <strong>GENCI<\/strong>, Jean Zay was produced by <strong>Eviden<\/strong>, a company of the <strong>Atos group<\/strong>. The extension was officially inaugurated on May 13, 2025 and announced by President Emmanuel Macron. The system stands out for its performance and eco-efficiency, using <strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/1x-and-nvidia-power-the-future-of-autonomous-home-robots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NVIDIA GPUs<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> GPUs and hot water cooling, the surplus of which is reused for local heating.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Since the start of its operations in 2019, the <strong>Jean Zay supercomputer<\/strong> has increased the number of AI projects it supports twenty-fold, from 72 to more than 1,400 by 2024. It also has power available to serve the research community, startups and enterprises, enabling the <strong>execution of fundamental AI models<\/strong>, biomedical research, language processing, climate, vehicular autonomy and more. <\/p>\n\n<p>Since its inauguration, three major projects have been highlighted: the <strong>CNRS<\/strong><strong> Polymathic astronomical model<\/strong>, <strong>Owkin&#8217; <\/strong>s <strong>AI pathology detection<\/strong> and a linguistic modeling tool with traceability developed by <strong>Pleias<\/strong>. All of them illustrate the diversity of <strong>Jean Zay 4&#8217;s applications<\/strong> and its technological potential. <\/p>\n\n<p>This supercomputer will also be a pillar of the <strong>AI Factory France project<\/strong>, an initiative that seeks to promote resources, training and support for the European AI ecosystem. Backed by entities such as <strong>Inria<\/strong>, <strong>CEA<\/strong>,<strong> French Tech<\/strong> and <strong>Station-F<\/strong>, the platform seeks to strengthen the continent&#8217;s digital sovereignty. <\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-60e0fae6-fde8-46d9-a5c9-f6186f6463dc\"><strong>Follow us on social media and don&#8217;t miss any of our posts!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-2ccd5b01-f7b0-41c7-bd84-5fb1552af18c\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow\">X (Twitter)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@inspenet?_t=8qqIL6dRGNR&amp;_r=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-03c3bba3-6a6e-4c18-8d58-9818f781c8f5\"><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnrs.fr\/en\/press\/jean-zay-supercomputer-france-has-increased-its-ai-dedicated-resources-fourfold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CNRS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a final detail, the design of Jean Zay 4 was conceived by the Obvious collective, which integrates artificial intelligence into works of art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":256953,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13034,13080],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-256995","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-curiosities","categoria_noticias-technology"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/256995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/256995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=256995"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=256995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
