Evidence boundaries
Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.
Profile note
Denmark's answer to LUMI, but privately founded: Gefion went live in Oct 2024, inaugurated by Jensen Huang, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation with EIFO and NVIDIA. Customers span academic researchers, startups, public sector and enterprise. The interesting structural point for a European directory is that Denmark bought its sovereign AI capacity with foundation money and an NVIDIA partnership rather than through EuroHPC — while simultaneously joining the LUMI AI Factory consortium. No public commercial price list.
