软银用核电给AI算力铺路，做大规模模型训练和基础设施投资的团队值得关注——能源成本是未来AI竞争的关键变量。
软银宣布投资750亿欧元在法国建设欧洲最大的AI计算设施，利用法国廉价稳定的核电作为AI训练和运行的能源基础。计划第一阶段投入450亿欧元，到2031年在法国上法兰西大区建成3.1GW算力，随后再增加2GW，最终形成5GW的AI综合体，其电力消耗相当于一个主要城市。敦刻尔克是核心选址，施耐德电气预计将参与建设AI基础设施和机器人制造中心。但融资是薄弱环节，行业估算1GW AI基础设施成本接近500亿美元，软银可能需要大量项目债务和外部合作伙伴。

FT: SoftBank just pledged €75B to build Europe’s largest AI computing facility in France, turning cheap, stable nuclear-heavy power into the raw fuel for training and running bigger AI systems.
The plan starts with €45B for 3.1GW of capacity in Hauts-de-France by 2031, then adds another 2GW, creating a 5GW AI complex roughly comparable to the power draw of a major city.
Dunkirk is the anchor site, with Schneider Electric expected to help build an AI infrastructure and robotics manufacturing hub around the project.
The weak point is financing, because industry estimates put 1GW of AI infrastructure near $50B, meaning SoftBank will probably need heavy project debt and outside partners.
