Amazon plans to invest up to US$50 billion to expand artificial intelligence and supercomputing capacity for U.S. government clients of Amazon Web Services.
The multiyear project, set to begin construction in 2026, will add nearly 1.3 gigawatts of high-performance compute across AWS Top Secret, Secret, and GovCloud regions. The new data centers will incorporate advanced chip and networking systems designed to meet rising federal demand for secure AI workloads.
AWS currently serves more than 11,000 government agencies, and the planned capacity increase is one of the largest cloud infrastructure commitments directed at the public sector. The expansion arrives as competition in AI infrastructure intensifies, with Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and OpenAI pouring billions into compute buildouts.
The investment will give federal agencies broader access to AWS tools such as SageMaker, Bedrock, and foundation models including Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude.
