Data centers, energy, cooling: what does a next-generation AI campus look like?

▤ Summary

This article describes how AI infrastructure is becoming a large-scale physical buildout rather than a standard data center project. It highlights the Campus AI project in Fouju, which plans twelve compute buildings across seventy hectares and up to 1.4 gigawatts of power. It also notes that Bpifrance, Mistral AI, MGX, and NVIDIA want to expand the program to 3 gigawatts with a second site. The piece frames AI campuses as energy-intensive national infrastructure projects with major power, cooling, and grid connection requirements.
