Nvidia, the leading AI chip maker, will build seven new supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), CEO Jensen Huang announced Tuesday.
The machines will support nuclear weapons research and explore alternative energy sources, including nuclear fusion. The largest supercomputer will use 100,000 Nvidia Blackwell chips and will be built in partnership with Oracle.
Huang spoke at Nvidia’s GTC conference in Washington, D.C., highlighting $500 billion in bookings for the company’s Blackwell and Rubin chips over the next five quarters.
Nvidia also revealed partnerships with Nokia and Palantir Technologies. The deal with Nokia, including a $1 billion investment, aims to improve power efficiency for 6G base stations. With Palantir, Nvidia will help companies like Lowe’s optimize logistics using AI.
Additionally, Nvidia introduced Hyperion, a self-driving car platform, partnering with Uber to create a network of robotaxis.
Huang praised U.S. policies under President Trump for supporting energy and technology growth, saying they helped Nvidia expand its projects globally.
Nvidia’s move strengthens U.S. computing power for government and scientific research while extending the company’s influence beyond traditional data centers.
