Amazon (AMZN) is going to invest up to $50B to expand AI and supercomputing capabilities for Amazon Web Services, or AWS, U.S. government customers.
The U.S. tech giant said the investment, which is set to break ground in 2026, will add nearly 1.3 gigawatts of AI and supercomputing capacity across AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions by building data centers with advanced compute and networking technologies.
Federal agencies will get access to AWS’ AI services, including Amazon SageMaker AI for model training and customization, Amazon Bedrock for model and agent deployment, Amazon Nova, Anthropic Claude (ANTHRO), and leading open-weights foundation models, and AWS Trainium AI chips, as well as Nvidia (NVDA) AI infrastructure, according to the company.
This will help equip agencies to develop custom AI solutions, optimize datasets, and enhance workforce productivity, the company added.
“We’re giving agencies expanded access to advanced AI capabilities that will enable them to accelerate critical missions from cybersecurity to drug discovery,” said AWS’ CEO Matt Garman.
