The British government is investing about $60 million in the creation of a new supercomputer with artificial intelligence. Its main goal is to significantly accelerate research into thermonuclear fusion.
Main theses:
- Sunrise AI will be hosted on the Atomic Energy Authority campus in the UK.
- It will begin operating in June 2026.
The most powerful AI supercomputer – what will it be like?
As journalists managed to find out, this system has already been named Sunrise AI supercomputer.
It is intended to be located on the campus of the UK Atomic Energy Authority in Culham (Oxfordshire).
The AI supercomputer is scheduled to start operating in June 2026.
Official London is ready to fund this idea, as they are convinced that the new supercomputer will help scientists better understand the complex physics of processes in fusion reactors.
Combining high-performance computing with artificial intelligence models will make it possible to test scientific ideas in a virtual environment before creating expensive experimental facilities.
