NVIDIA, LXAI, and Tec de Monterrey Launch AI Supercomputer Network

This week NVIDIA, LXAI, and Tecnológico de Monterrey announced the upcoming launch of the AI Supercomputer Network in collaboration with Hub de IA del Tec de Monterrey. Many countries in Latin America including Mexico, Brazil, Perú, Chile, and Colombia, are developing their national AI strategies but many LATAM universities and research centers struggle to access high-performance computing due to high prices, low government investment in research, and limited international collaborations. This initiative aims to address these challenges by providing an international network of state of the art GPUs for LATAM access. The official launch will be in Guadalajara on August 9th. The objective of this initiative is to strengthen the capacities of the AI ecosystem in Latin America including developing and attracting AI experts, building technological infrastructure, boosting international collaboration, and providing easy access to public data.
