Amazon and Google are competing for a NIS 300 million ($80 million) tender to construct Israel’s first AI supercomputer, with the Israel Innovation Authority set to split the costs equally with the winning tech giant.

Developed by Chief Scientist Dr. Orna Berry, the project will equip Israel with between 1,000 and 2,000 Nvidia H100 graphics processors dedicated to training language models.

Its components will consist of interconnected standard computer servers, designed specifically to handle computational tasks beyond the capabilities of conventional systems.
