Chappell announced the AI supercomputer on Tuesday afternoon at the “first-ever AI Expo for National Competitiveness” in Washington D.C.

Microsoft has trained a massive new generative AI model — which is entirely disconnected from the internet. The idea is to provide US intelligence agencies a way to analyze top-secret information without running the risk of leaking it to the public.
