(Reuters) -Amazon.com said on Monday ​it would invest up ‌to $50 billion to expand artificial-‌intelligence and supercomputing capacity for U.S. government customers, in one of the ⁠largest cloud ‌infrastructure commitments targeted at the public sector.

The project,‍ expected to break ground in 2026, will add nearly 1.​3 gigawatts of new ‌AI and high-performance computing capacity across AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret and AWS GovCloud regions through new ⁠data centers equipped ​with advanced compute ​and networking systems.

One gigawatt of computing power is roughly ‍enough to ⁠power about 750,000 U.S. households on ⁠average.
