The funding will support a full-day workshop at TU Delft (Mondai), to align and strengthen the Dutch community working on Large Language Model (LLM) inference infrastructure. It will connect currently siloed hosting initiatives across Dutch institutions (eg, Delft, TU/e, VU, WUR,SURF) and create opportunities for inspiration, knowledge exchange, and collaborations.
A key focus is linking infrastructure choices (eg, utilization, deployment models) to electrical engineering priorities in hardware efficiency, power-aware design, and sustainable operations. It lays the groundwork for acoordinated, sustainable Dutch ecosystem in responsible open LLM hosting.
