AWS is spending $50 billion to build AI infrastructure for the U.S. government.

Today on the podcast, I want to break down why they're able to do this, how this deal was put

together, and why I think this is a bigger deal, not just for the U.S. government, but for all

governments around the world who are going to be doing similar deals to help create

sovereign AI. Why creating an AI advantage is important for most countries.

We're going to be getting into all of that.

Before we do, I wanted to mention if you want to try any of the models that I talk about on

the show, I'd love for you to check out my startup, which is called AIbox.

com.

You get access to 40 of the top models, Open AI, Claude, Gemini, GroROC, 11 labs for audio, tons of cool image models, all for $20 a month in one place. You can chat with them all in the same thread. It makes it super useful, super easy, and very affordable. So if you want to check that out, go check out AIbox.aI.I. I'll leave a link in the description. Okay, so AWS is making a huge new investment in infrastructure.

Basically, this is designed to boost the United States government's AI capabilities.

They made this big announcement.

They're going to put $50 billion into this.

And what they're saying is that this is quote unquote high performance computing infrastructure.

This is going to be built for the US and the buildout is meant to expand the federal government agencies' access to

AWS's AI services.

Now, that is, you know, there's a lot of different agencies within the federal government.

I think they're kind of doing this big deal and different agencies inside of the

government are going to be able to then have access to this.

It's going to add about 1.3 gigawatts of compute and it is going to expand the U.S.

government's access to AWS products.

There's a bunch of different things that will be bundled into this.
