Kao Data to host CommonAI's AI Scaling Inference Lab in Harlow

UK data center operator Kao Data will host the ARIA-funded AI Scaling Inference Lab run by CommonAI at its Harlow campus. Five GPU-accelerated clusters using Nvidia HGX B300, H200 NVL, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and AMD Instinct MI350X will be deployed across two dedicated suites, with all clusters due to be operational by early 2027.

• The lab is funded by ARIA, which committed £50m ($66m) initially
• Five clusters will test pipeline parallelism, heterogeneous orchestration and optical circuit switching
• Hardware includes Nvidia HGX B300, H200 NVL, RTX PRO 6000 and AMD MI350X
• All clusters are targeted to be operational by early 2027
