Amazon deploys tens of billions of dollars into a major expansion of artificial intelligence and supercomputing capabilities for its US government customers.
In a new update, Amazon says it is committing up to $50 billion to build new infrastructure designed to deploy AI and high-performance compute for US government agencies.
The company says the investment will support federal agencies by adding nearly 1.3 gigawatts of advanced compute capacity to AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret and AWS GovCloud regions. The buildout will deliver purpose-built data centers starting in 2026.
“Federal agencies will gain expanded access to AWS’s comprehensive AI services, including Amazon SageMaker AI for model training and customization, Amazon Bedrock for model and agent deployment, Amazon Nova, Anthropic Claude, and leading open-weights foundation models, and AWS Trainium AI chips, as well as Nvidia AI infrastructure, equipping agencies to develop custom AI solutions, optimize massive datasets, and enhance workforce productivity.”
The company says the added capacity will allow research teams and operational units to combine modeling, simulation and artificial intelligence to speed up complex analysis. Federal agencies will be able to run pattern detection, classification and scenario modeling on decades of security, environmental and infrastructure data in real time, while reducing the cost and time associated with traditional analysis workflows.
“This integration of AI with modeling and simulation positions America to tackle its most complex challenges with unprecedented speed and precision.”
Amazon says the investment will strengthen a wide range of government and industrial base missions, including autonomous systems research, cybersecurity, energy innovation and healthcare discovery, and aligns with the Administration’s AI Action Plan and advanced computing initiatives across secure US-based cloud regions.
AWS CEO Matt Garman says the expansion is designed to give agencies the infrastructure needed to accelerate scientific discovery, national security workflows and operational readiness.
“Our investment in purpose-built government AI and cloud infrastructure will fundamentally transform how federal agencies leverage supercomputing. 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.”
