Overview
- AWS says this is the first purpose-built AI and high‑performance computing infrastructure for U.S. government customers across all classification levels.
- Federal agencies will gain access to Amazon SageMaker, Bedrock, Nova, Anthropic Claude, AWS Trainium chips and NVIDIA AI infrastructure.
- The company frames the effort as supporting the White House AI Action Plan and notes it already serves more than 11,000 government agencies.
- Separately, Amazon plans about $15 billion for Northern Indiana data centers adding roughly 2.4 gigawatts, with a NIPSCO power agreement and about 1,100 jobs expected.
- Both initiatives rely on multi‑year construction, expanded power capacity and regulatory approvals before the new compute comes online.
