DeepL is Building Europe’s Most Powerful AI Translation Supercomputer — Based on NVIDIA Blackwell B200
It seems that the language barrier in Europe is about to collapse at an unprecedented speed. DeepL, the German company that has become synonymous with high-quality machine translation, has announced the launch of its own supercomputer for training the next generation of AI. And this is not just another data center — it is the most powerful language supercomputer in Europe.
At its core are the latest NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs, which are only now beginning to enter commercial use. According to DeepL, the new system can process, in just 18 days, an amount of data equivalent to all publicly available content on the internet. Yes, you read that correctly. Eighteen days — and the entire internet in memory.
For comparison, just a few years ago, such a task would have taken six to eight months on top-tier systems like the A100 or H100. The new DeepL supercomputer offers up to a 30-fold increase in performance compared to previous architectures.
Why are they building it?
DeepL is developing its own next-generation LLM (Large Language Model) — one that won’t just translate, but will also write, revise, summarize, and rewrite text with understanding of context, cultural nuance, and even emotional tone. In essence, this is the creation of the first truly European competitor to OpenAI’s GPT‑5 and Google’s Gemini Ultra.
The focus isn’t just on translation quality — DeepL is committed to upholding European values, especially around data protection, transparency, and ethical AI usage. Unlike American platforms that are often criticized for opaque data practices, DeepL emphasizes strict GDPR compliance and transparent training sources.
The project is funded partly by DeepL’s own revenue, and partly through partnerships with EU industrial giants, research centers, and support from the European Investment Bank.
While Google and OpenAI are discussing multiverse AI ecosystems, Germany is quietly making a technically flawless claim to sovereignty in artificial intelligence.
And yes — this is no longer just a translator. It’s the language brain of Europe.
