Nvidia and AI search firm Perplexity said they are joining hands with model builders and cloud providers across Europe and the Middle East to refine sovereign large-language models (LLMs) and accelerate enterprise AI uptake in local industries.

Nvidia and artificial intelligence search firm Perplexity on Wednesday said they are partnering with more than a dozen AI firms in Europe and the Middle East to refine those firms' AI technologies and distribute them to local businesses.

Perplexity said it will integrate sovereign European AI models into its answer engine, bringing "locally-optimized, culturally-aware AI" to users worldwide while supporting Europe's digital sovereignty initiatives.
