T-Systems and Sparxity (Dresden) Announce Partnership on Energy-Efficient AI Computing Infrastructure
Deutsche Telekom is continuing to expand its AI partner ecosystem. T-Systems and the Dresden-based AI infrastructure company Sparxity (formerly SpiNNcloud Systems GmbH) have agreed to collaborate. The companies signed a declaration to that effect at the German government’s Digital Summit.
The goal is to combine Sparxity’s energy-efficient computer technology with T-Systems’ data center infrastructure and operational expertise.
Sparxity Technology for Telekom Data Centers
The two companies intend to jointly develop and deploy the next generation of energy-efficient AI computing infrastructure in Europe. Sparxity’s technologies are designed for so-called energy-efficient and demand-driven “sparse computation,” in which computing power is deployed only where it is needed. As a first step, Sparxity’s current hardware will be used to jointly develop approaches for the technical integration of the next generation of Sparxity chips into data centers. A rollout is then scheduled for 2028—in combination with T-Systems’ data center infrastructure and partner ecosystem. Building on this, the two companies plan to develop high-performance, energy-efficient AI computing systems for future applications and optimize them for specific use cases. The details of the collaboration will be finalized in the coming months.
Hector A. Gonzalez, co-founder and CEO of Sparxity: “Our computing technology is designed to concentrate computing power only where it is needed. This makes AI more energy-efficient and scalable. The current generation of our systems is already in use in Europe and the United States. We see great potential in a partnership with T-Systems to introduce our next-generation chip into data centers.”
Ferri Abolhassan, CEO of T-Systems and member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Telekom AG: “Germany and Europe need a high-performance AI infrastructure that can be operated and scaled cost-effectively. With our T Cloud portfolio and our AI Factory in Munich, we have laid the foundation for this. We are open to additional partners and look forward to welcoming Sparxity to our AI Factory soon. The German company stands out in particular for its energy-efficient use of AI computing power.”
About Sparxity
Sparxity develops “sparse-native compute for AI,” which refers to economical and energy-efficient computing power for AI. The principle is simple: compute only what matters. For years, models were shaped by the hardware on which they ran. Sparxity builds the hardware that enables them to move forward: full-stack systems, ranging from custom chips to software optimized for dynamic operation, scaling computing power without sacrificing speed or efficiency. In rack-based and supercomputer systems across Europe and the U.S., Sparxity is opening up a new world of computing power for the developers who are shaping the future.
