Nvidia and Oracle will form a giant AI Supercomputer department, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced Tuesday, at the company’s first GTC AI conference to be held in Washington DC
Huang, at the same time during the reception, even asserted from Nvidia’s booth at the Expo that he planned “the largest Supercomputer – AmericanComputer in America for Doe.”
Together with the federally funded Argonne National Laboratory, the two giants of Tech will create a total number of new AI Supercoloturers.
“Most of that energy bill will be used for commercial applications to drive American business,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said at a press conference after the science and public safety event.
Construction will begin immediately, with computer power beginning to flow to the Department early next week, according to Wright. The first of the last seven is expected to be introduced in 2026, with the largest coming later.
“I’m like a kid in a candy store,” said the Secretary.
Wright said he was the one who reached out to the “industry players” in the Ink partnership in “a major collaboration” of the science department’s scientific efforts and nationally.
The announcement was made on the heels of a collaboration between Nvidia and the government, showing the growing connection between the AI industry and the Trump Administration.
Trump, although missing from the conference, was almost everywhere on Tuesday.
Huang told the Original Trump, “Huang told those present before his keynote speech. Trump instead of a whirlwind dislomacy tour across Asia.
Huang shared that he will be joining the President on the South Korea Leg of the Tour, where Trump is scheduled to have a key meeting with China’s Xi Jijing. The meeting will determine the trade relationship between the two countries, which has an unethical impact on Nvidia’s business.
Huang thanked the Trump administration repeatedly during his keynote address on Tuesday, and ended by shouting “Thank you for making America great again!” In the crowd of technology enthusiasts, GPU fanboys and government officials.
At a press conference following the keynote, he thanked Secretary Wortness and President Trump for their energy policies.
“I’m very happy that President Trump has a lot of power,” Huang said. “With the administration and others encouraging the use of energy, it was very difficult for the United States to win the AI race or to win any industrial race.”
AI has a huge demand for power and gulps into insane amounts of water, often putting strain on local communities of data centers. These AI data centers also have a huge carbon footprint, with energy demand fueling the development of greenhouse gases and contributing to further climate change.
In the run-up to the administration’s bid, Trump is very positive about carbon-intensive energy and does not believe in climate change. In fact, he has canceled billions of dollars in funding for clean energy projects, and is reportedly eyeing more cuts.
At the forum, Huang once again promised an all-American assembly line, something that executives have put a lot of pressure on the Tech Giant and other Silicon Valley companies about.
“Everything from the beginning, from the concept, the culture, all the way to the generation of intelligence will be here in the United States,” Huang said.
When asked about his contribution to building the White House’s new waterfront ballroom, Huang said he was “incredibly proud and excited to help with the cause of our country’s national monument.”
Ironically though, Trump is now demolishing a real treasure of American history, the east wing of the white house, to make way for a ballroom.
Even the fact that Nvidia decided to start organizing the second GTC in DC is a testament to the companies close to the President and his administration. Nvidia’s GTC conference is usually held once a year in March in the heart of Silicon Valley in San Jose, California. This event is considered the “Super Bowl” of AI, so Silicon Valley is a more suitable place for it to be held than the national capital, and even Huang himself could be abused.
“This should be a tech conference in Washington DC,” Huang said.
