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
Norway's experimental exascale-prep cluster: NVIDIA DGX-2 (16x V100, 2 PFLOPS tensor), an 8-way A100 80GB system, and a Graphcore IPU-POD of 64 Colossus Mk2 GC200 IPUs (>94,000 cores, 16 PFLOPS mixed precision). Consortium includes Sigma2, UiT, NTNU, UiB, OsloMet plus Graphcore, Dolphin and Numascale. Compute infrastructure only — Simula trains no public language models.
