White House Clears $9B for Spy Agencies’ AI Chips
The funding would expand data centers and cloud capacity as agencies race to keep pace with power-hungry AI models, officials said.
- The White House approved a $9 billion request to acquire cutting-edge computer chips for United States spy agencies, targeting infrastructure that supports Nvidia's Grace Blackwell superchip.
- Intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency and CIA, have fallen behind in testing espionage tools due to insufficient funding in past years for adequate computing facilities.
- Agencies primarily run classified models on Amazon Web Services cloud networks; the government is finalizing a classified contract with Anthropic for its Mythos model, which operates efficiently on the new hardware.
- The administration reprogrammed $800 million for rapid computing capacity acquisition. White House spokesperson Steven Cheung said the deliberations are "not leaked to reporters and repackaged through selectively sourced, unverified claims."
- AI platforms have become integral to national security operations, sifting through massive intelligence volumes. Experts suggest even larger sums will be necessary in the future to sustain intelligence capabilities.
