buildOne report1 publisher Argonne's Solstice points about 100,000 Blackwell GPUs at AI work in 4 to 16 bits
NVIDIA committed $1 billion over five years and announced seven national-lab systems, led by Argonne's Solstice with around 100,000 Blackwell GPUs. Solstice targets AI work at 4 to 16 bits, so labs that need double precision are left weighing emulation against native FP64 hardware.

PNNL is training an AI agent to tune the quantum amplifiers physicists now adjust by hand
PNNL is building AQUA-WOLF, an AI agent meant to take over the hours physicists spend hand-tuning amplifiers for dark-matter and qubit work. Its first reward is signal gain alone, and noise, the property these amplifiers exist to keep near zero, gets scored only in a later stage.

President Trump ordered federal agencies to write 'Super Intelligence' in place of 'AI' in correspondence, websites, reports and policy documents. The order sets no new duty for model builders; what could change their scope is a proposed statutory definition due to the President within 60 days.

Oak Ridge hands its nickel-hungry pennycress screen to an agentic co-scientist
Twelve pennycress lines, 360 plants and more than 24,000 camera observations went into a nickel screen whose analysis now takes minutes, though the accumulation figures that would make phytomining a supply story sit outside the release.
