As opposed to waffle house servers
The servers contained “US-manufactured graphics processing units (GPUs) commonly used for Super Intelligence (SI)”, it added, using the Trump administration’s new name for artificial intelligence (AI).
What US-made GPUs did he export? The US doesn’t produce any that are really worthwhile for AI use like that. And definitely not back in 2023-2024 like the article says. The Phoenix facility went online in 2025.
