Nebius has committed £1.7 billion to build four new AI infrastructure sites across the United Kingdom. The company said the facilities will be powered by Nvidia technology, signaling a major private push into the country's artificial intelligence computing capacity.
What the funding will build
The investment covers the construction of four separate sites dedicated to AI workloads. Each location will house data center infrastructure designed to handle large-scale machine learning models and other compute-heavy tasks. The £1.7 billion figure makes this one of the largest known direct commitments to AI-specific data centers in the UK from a single company in recent years.
Role of Nvidia hardware
Nebius will equip the sites with Nvidia's AI acceleration technology. Nvidia's graphics processing units are widely used for training and running neural networks. The exact number of GPUs or specific hardware models hasn't been disclosed.
The company did not say when construction will start or how long it will take to complete all four sites. No specific locations within the UK have been announced yet, though the investment is expected to create jobs during the building phase and after the centers become operational.
