At ISC 2026, the HPC community knew exactly what to do with Fuzzball on DGX Spark. Our winning submission from Martin O’Reilly at the Alan Turing Institute showed why: simpler compute can help move AI weather workflows from HPC and cloud training to local inference. ciq.com/blog/isc-202...

CIQ was at ISC 2026 in Hamburg. Here is what the Top500 results, the sovereign AI policy shift, and hundreds of community submissions told us about where compute infrastructure is headed.
