Looking at the article, AI appears to be more of a buzzword user here. It moreso appears to be a generic supercomputer that happens to be usable for AI but primarily is intended for complicated calculations.
Notably all the ways they WANT to use it is simulations. Not AI.
Yeah, AI is included for buzzword compliance, but this system would be no slouch either.
Comparing that to the current Top500 list of supercomputers, this would be 5th fastest in the world. I wish we could see more investment like this.
Oh yeah no doubt. This thing would be intensely useful. Just think of all the applications for engineering, and that's just the tip of the iceberg
