•Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) is funding RIKEN to develop a 'JHPC-quantum GPU Supercomputer' named ROQUO.
•ROQUO is envisioned as a hybrid system, combining high-performance classical GPU computing with quantum computing capabilities.
•This initiative highlights the growing trend towards integrating classical supercomputing power with nascent quantum technologies for advanced research and applications.
•Launched in December 2023, the Swiss AI Initiative is the largest global open science/open source effort for AI foundation models, backed by 20M CHF and 10M+ GPU hours.
•It leverages over 800 researchers from 10+ academic institutions and the 'Alps' supercomputer (10,000+ GH200 GPUs) at CSCS to drive frontier AI research.
•The initiative aims to provide transparent, open software, models, and data, fostering trustworthy AI development for Swiss SMEs, startups, and the broader community.
