"AWS announced Monday it is investing $50 billion to build AI "high-performance computing infrastructure" purposefully built for the U.S. government. The buildout is meant to expand federal government agencies' access to AWS AI services. The project will add 1.3 gigawatts of compute and will expand government access to AWS products, including Amazon SageMaker AI, model customization, Amazon Bedrock, model deployment, and Anthropic's Claude chatbot, among others, according to the company."
""Our investment in purpose-built government AI and cloud infrastructure will fundamentally transform how federal agencies leverage supercomputing," AWS CEO Matt Garman said in the company's press release. "We're giving agencies expanded access to advanced AI capabilities that will enable them to accelerate critical missions from cybersecurity to drug discovery. This investment removes the technology barriers that have held government back and further positions America to lead in the AI era.""

AWS expects to break ground on the data center projects in 2026. AWS has provided cloud infrastructure for the U.S. government since 2011 and launched an air-gapped Top Secret region in 2014 and a Secret Region in 2017. Tech companies have been offering tailored AI services and deals to federal agencies, including dedicated ChatGPT versions and enterprise access arrangements.
