  • DOE inks $1B supercomputer deal to shape energy sector

    The Department of Energy is partnering with Advanced Micro Devices to build two supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, focusing on advancing nuclear power, fusion, grid modernization, and other priorities of the Trump administration. These machines will utilize artificial intelligence to accelerate the development of technologies like advanced reactors and batteries. The first supercomputer, named "Lux," is expected to be operational by early 2026 with triple the AI capacity of current supercomputers. The Department of Energy aims to bring new supercomputers online in a shorter timeline, from years to months, to drive progress in climate solutions.
