Tech company Nvidia will build seven new supercomputers for the US Department of Energy. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced this during a speech at the company's technology conference in Washington D.C. in the US, writes the news agency Reuters.
Huang also began by praising the policies that US President Donald Trump has pursued so far, while announcing new products and agreements.
The supercomputers that Nvidia is building for the Department of Energy will partly help the US maintain and develop its nuclear weapons arsenal, writes Reuters. The supercomputers will also be used for research into alternative energy sources.
During the conference, Nvidia also announced a technology platform called Hyperion for self-driving cars.
In a press release the same day, the company said that it has entered into a collaboration with Uber to prepare the world for robotaxi.
- Together with Uber, we are creating a framework for the entire industry to deploy autonomous fleets at scale powered by Nvidia's AI infrastructure, Huang says in the press release, adding:
- What was once science fiction is quickly becoming part of everyday life.
During the conference, Nvidia also announced new details about a collaboration with one of the 00s' biggest mobile companies, Nokia. Nvidia will invest $1 billion for a 2.9 percent stake in the Finnish company. This corresponds to 6.4 billion Danish kroner.
According to Huang, Nvidia will, among other things, collaborate with Nokia to improve the energy efficiency of the company's base stations for 6G, the next generation of wireless data technology.
