德国计划下周与英伟达达成协议，以帮助其工业更广泛地使用人工智能，Handelsblatt报道。
Germany plans to announce an agreement with Nvidia next week to help its industry make more use of AI, Handelsblatt reported.
消息人士称，该协议将为工业领域的人工智能发展提供巨大推动力，并且除了英伟达之外的其他合作伙伴也将加入。德国政府尚未公开发表评论，我们也未能独立确认相关细节。
The sources said the deal will be a big boost for AI in industry, and that other partners besides Nvidia will join. The German government has not commented publicly, and we have not independently confirmed the details.
预计德国总理弗里德里希·默茨和英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋将于周一在柏林的“投资德国”峰会上共同宣布该协议，英伟达已确认黄仁勋将于下周抵达柏林。
Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang are expected to present the agreement on Monday at the Invest in Germany summit in Berlin, and Nvidia has confirmed that Huang will be in the city next week.
涉及的资金规模较大。根据Handelsblatt的报道，德国政府准备投入数亿欧元，这些资金可能来源于专门用于研究的基金。
The sums involved are large. The government is ready to spend several hundred million euros, according to Handelsblatt. The money may come from a fund set aside for research.
其中大部分将用于购买德国电信AI云的算力，而英伟达则将提供工程师和芯片。目标是为物理人工智能奠定基础——即用于训练机器人和自动驾驶汽车的人工智能，并为工业构建强大的人工智能模型。
Most of that would pay for computing power on Deutsche Telekom’s AI cloud, while Nvidia would supply engineers and chips. The goal is to lay the groundwork for physical AI, the kind used to train robots and self-driving cars, and to build powerful AI models for industry.
大约十几家德国公司希望参与该计划，包括西门子、奥迪以及图像生成初创公司Black Forest Labs，Handelsblatt如是报道。
About a dozen German companies want to take part, including Siemens, Audi, and image-generation startup Black Forest Labs, the paper reported.
该计划将建立在双方现有合作基础之上。今年早些时候，德国电信和英伟达在慕尼黑共同启动了一个工业人工智能云平台，该平台运行时最高可调用1万块英伟达芯片。
The plan would build on existing ties between the two sides. Telekom and Nvidia opened an industrial AI cloud in Munich earlier this year, running on up to 10,000 Nvidia chips.
此举也正值欧洲试图构建自身的人工智能能力、减少对美国技术依赖之际。该努力并非一帆风顺，欧盟的人工智能超级工厂计划曾因延迟而受挫。与此同时，英伟达一直在向各国政府推销其自身的“主权人工智能”技术栈。
It also comes as Europe tries to build its own AI capacity and rely less on US technology. That effort has not always gone smoothly, with the EU’s AI gigafactory plan running into delays. Meanwhile, Nvidia has been pitching its own sovereign AI stack to governments.
上个月，柏林仍表示希望建设更多人工智能能力，以使欧洲能够更多依赖自身技术。
Last month, Berlin said it still wants to build more AI capacity so Europe can rely more on its own tech.
