I think last year was the whole Stargate project, 500 million planned and spent on that and whatnot.

I think it's interesting that

this scientific data hasn't already been shared amongst the different laboratories.

And so now they've created a system or to build a system that has this sharing of scientific data.

That's the part that kind of threw me for a loop when I heard this news.

Normally within the academic and the scientific community, there is a process of sharing the information.

They go through peer review.

They go through all of this.

I'm imagining this more has to deal with things that are marked secret or classified or something like that.

But I would imagine that that kind of information was already shared.

This is probably more like the streamlining effect of...

of having a collected database, or at least that's what it's hoped for.

Okay.

The other story I have lined up is sort of similar.

It's from Amazon.

So AWS plans to invest up to 50 billion to expand AI and supercomputing infrastructure dedicated to the US government customers.

The company said that the multi-year build out

had nearly 1.3 gigawatts of high-performance computing capacity, where many processors worked together to solve one problem across the top secret, secret, and cloud regions using new data centers that house custom AI chips and NVIDIA systems.

agencies would gain broader access to services like Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker and Cloud powered tools to train models, run simulations and analyze sensitive data sets in classified environments.

Amazon frames the move as a way to speed defense, intelligence and scientific missions from threat detection to drug discovery, while keeping data on U.S.
