FuriosaAI, an AI chip company, is moving to target the European sovereign AI infrastructure market. FuriosaAI said on Tuesday it will work with global digital infrastructure company Equinix to deploy RNGD (Renegade) servers at Equinix’s LS2 data centre in Lisbon, Portugal. The servers will be run as an evaluation environment where European companies can verify RNGD’s performance and power efficiency using real AI models and workloads.

The partnership is significant in that FuriosaAI is building a customer support system in Europe. FuriosaAI will support European companies and sovereign AI projects to run large language models and agentic AI directly on the RNGD servers in Lisbon. Engineers at its local unit established in Lisbon earlier this year will provide technical support needed to evaluate and adopt RNGD, including running models, applying software and configuring systems.

RNGD (Renegade), which will be concentrated at the Lisbon data centre, is a data centre AI inference accelerator based on FuriosaAI’s in-house tensor contraction processor (TCP) architecture. Earlier this year, it achieved mass production, a rare case globally for an HBM-based AI accelerator using high-bandwidth memory built by stacking multiple layers to increase data processing speed.

RNGD runs large language models and agentic AI with high power efficiency, and adoption by customers at home and abroad is expanding rapidly. It also has the advantage of reducing total cost of ownership, or TCO, for infrastructure adoption and operations compared with GPUs. It can be operated as is in existing standard air-cooled data centre environments, enabling deployment without additional investment in cooling infrastructure.

FuriosaAI will unveil RNGD and its latest software stack at RAISE Summit 2026 in Paris this week. Chief executive Jun-ho Baek (백준호) will join a panel discussion with CoreWeave and Supermicro, among others, under the theme "Powering AI Infrastructure: Solving the 21st Century Manhattan Project". Chief research officer Ji-hoon Kang (강지훈) will deliver a keynote speech.

Baek said, "As the spread of AI services accelerates in Europe, constraints on power and cooling infrastructure are making efficient AI infrastructure buildouts a strategic task," adding, "Through cooperation with Equinix, we will support European companies and sovereign AI projects to verify RNGD’s performance and economics in real environments and to build AI services more quickly."
