Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced that the company will build seven supercomputers for the Department of Energy with up to 100,000 chips all made in America. Huang said, “The first thing that President Trump asked me is, ‘bring manufacturing back.'”
The New York Post reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made several significant announcements during the keynote address at the company’s GTC event in Washington, DC, highlighting the company’s ongoing success and its commitment to advancing e AI technology. The event, held for the first time in the US capital, signifies Nvidia’s pursuit of work with the government and contractors in the area.
Huang used the address to reveal that Nvidia plans to build seven new supercomputers for the US Department of Energy. These supercomputers will serve various purposes, including maintaining and developing the United States’ nuclear weapons arsenal and researching alternative energy sources such as nuclear fusion. The largest of these supercomputers will be built in collaboration with Oracle and will contain 100,000 of Nvidia’s Blackwell chips.
Huang also revealed that Nvidia has secured an impressive $500 billion in bookings for its Blackwell and Rubin chips over the next five quarters, demonstrating the strong demand for the company’s AI technology. This announcement comes as Nvidia navigates the US-China trade war, which could determine which country’s technology will dominate the global market.

Ping!.................
These GPUs will host the biggest, most capable AI entity in the world.
This is not a supercomputer. Nvidia makes GPUs for AI, a completely differ class of processor than a supercomputer.
Though it may access supercomputers to answer some questions.
Does anyone see it differently?
Nivida nearing a 5T valuation. Up around 8% in the last couple of days.
I know some people will be upset about this. But it actually is a national security issue.
Why is the Department of Energy doing this? That one should be phased out after Department of Education.
Move the weapons labs back under WOD\DOD.
Move the science labs back into a reformed AEC.
I got a lot of work from Energy i have very few complaints about them.
Any problem that can be approached with parallel processing is tackled faster with a GPU than CPU. Much like a supercomputer does. GPUs are very applicable to supercomputing in science, medicine, intelligence, etc.
Snip..."Additional AI Networking Solutions Cooperation
...The companies will also explore the use of Nokia’s optical technologies and capabilities as part of future NVIDIA AI infrastructure architecture."

Lightwave Logic is moving past the development stage into implementation stage. (Note that no Rare Earths needed!) Their optical polymer could assist in reducing the enormous power consumption of Data Centers. Could be a disruptive product. Something to watch. (disclosure... Am watching and hold some shares.)
Time to recognize Taiwan.
Precisely. And also, if these supercomputers are involved with our nuclear arsenal, then they'll be used for modeling, which has largely replaced live testing, and for which GPUs are excellent.
Sure they can do AI well but that's only one trick in their bag.
Sounds as if these latest Blackwell chips will be part of the 47-XI negotiation so China can build its own supercomputers. Why wait until they steal them just sell them now.
PS: Nvidia just passed the 5 [ five ] trillion market cap this morning, leaving all the other big tech stocks scrambling to reach 4 trillion.
