(ORNL: Oak Ridge, TN) -- The U.S. Department of Energy has announced its newest supercomputers, Discovery and Lux, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), will expand America’s leadership in artificial intelligence for scientific computing, strengthen national security, and drive the next generation of gold-standard science and innovation.

“Winning the AI race requires new and creative partnerships that will bring together the brightest minds and industries American technology and science has to offer,” says U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright. “That’s why the Trump administration is announcing the first example of a new commonsense approach to computing partnerships with Lux. We are also announcing, as part of a competitive procurement process, Discovery. Working with AMD and HPE, we’re bringing new capacity online faster than ever before, turning shared innovation into national strength, and proving that America leads when private-public partners build together.”
