Industrial HPC specialist CGG and AI developer LightOn are partnering to build Large Language Models for industrial purposes, including the oil and gas industries, using CGG’s industrial high performance computing systems.

LightOn’s AI targets industrial applications through the use of their generative AI Paradigm platform. CGG’s industrial HPC systems are based on a proprietary immersion cooling technology and use of 100% renewable energy. LightOn is now able to use CGG’s HPC & AI Centre of Excellence to benchmark their LLMs.

“LightOn is at the forefront of innovation in AI, creating from scratch and delivering no less than 12 LLMs,” said Laurent Daudet, Co-CEO, LightOn. “We’re on a mission to transform business productivity for our clients and revolutionise how companies perceive and use generative AI. Having access to CGG’s latest HPC technology will accelerate our evaluation and testing, and ultimately our overall business strategy.”

“This collaboration with LightOn reflects CGG’s ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge and energy-efficient AI and HPC solutions with a focus on performance and sustainability,” said Agnès Boudot, EVP, HPC & Cloud Solutions, CGG. “Our optimised HPC can help our customers successfully scale their production workloads, including generative AI, while maximising their return on investment.”
