LUMI as an "AI customer" has a:

- low-budget: tax payer supercomputer for tax payer phd students

- high-risk tolerance: tolerate AI cluster arriving 5 years late (Intel and Aurora), lack of AI SW stack, etc.

- High FP64 FLOPs constraint: nobody doing AI cares about FP64

Private companies whose survival depend on very expensive engineers (10x EU phd student salary) quickly generating value from AI in a very competitive market are completely different kind of "AI customers".
