News Summary

• Brazil is spending 2.3bn reais, about $444m, on two AI supercomputers.
• One will be built with Huawei, the other is expected to go to Nvidia.
• “The strategy is not to depend on a single company, technology or country,” the Lula government said in setting out the plan.
• The money comes from the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development, released in phases rather than as a lump sum, which gives Brasilia the option to slow either project without cancelling it.
