Infomaniak is rolling out Euria, a consumer AI assistant fully hosted in Swiss data centers that run on renewable energy and feed waste heat into Geneva’s district heating network.
The data center behind Euria is sized not just for GPUs and inference but to displace natural-gas heating for thousands of homes, giving AI workloads a direct tie-in to local energy and emissions reduction.
Euria runs on a mix of open source models tuned for lower energy draw while aiming for “near frontier” performance, but Infomaniak notes Europe still lacks top-tier sovereign models and calls for more regional AI investment.
All processing and storage stay in Switzerland with encryption end to end, no training on user data, and an ephemeral mode, targeting sensitive verticals that need data residency and strict compliance.
From an ops standpoint, Euria optimizes cost and power by deciding when to hit the web versus using local model knowledge, and it’s already embedded into Infomaniak’s kSuite productivity and collaboration stack.
The roadmap adds agents with persistent instructions, image generation, global memory, and deeper suite integration, which will drive continued GPU and storage demand inside Infomaniak’s own facilities.
The article is worth a read for its concrete example of pairing AI data center build-out with district heating and a privacy-first, sovereign cloud model.
