NVIDIA is making a monumental investment of up to $500 billion to build AI supercomputers entirely in the United States over the next four years.
This move is part of a broader strategy to strengthen US AI infrastructure and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.
The company is teaming up with partners like Foxconn and Wistron to make this happen.
Jensen Huang’s Vision
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says that producing AI supercomputers domestically will make the supply chain more resilient and meet growing global demand for AI capabilities.
Production facilities are being set up in Texas, with large-scale production expected to start within 12 to 15 months.
The company’s advanced AI chips, known as Blackwell, are already being produced at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) facilities in Arizona.
Other companies, such as Amkor and Siliconware, will also provide chip packaging and testing services in the US.
A Broader Strategy
This joint effort is happening amid political pressure to boost domestic tech production and tackle challenges like import tariffs and international competition.
It’s also linked to the Stargate project, a joint venture led by OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, which aims to invest the same $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the US.
Other companies involved in Stargate include Microsoft and NVIDIA.
The initiative isn’t just about driving technological innovation, but also about showing that NVIDIA and its partners can contribute to the US economy by creating jobs and making the country a global leader in AI.
As reported by Tom’s Hardware, this massive investment is set to have a significant impact on the US tech industry.
