Next-Generation AI Systems

Two cutting-edge AI supercomputing systems are being planned for Argonne through a groundbreaking public-private partnership. These systems – Equinox and Solstice – will be used for scientific research in support of DOE’s Genesis Mission.

Equinox and Solstice will expand the nation’s AI infrastructure and strengthen U.S. leadership in AI-driven research, accelerating discovery across science, energy and security.

These systems will give researchers unprecedented computing capacity to develop advanced AI models, analyze massive scientific datasets, and tackle some of the most complex challenges in modern science. Faster scientific discovery means faster solutions that benefit people and communities. Both systems are in the planning stages and will be located on the Argonne campus, with Equinox being housed in the existing Argonne Leadership Computing Facility building.

As a pioneer in AI and advanced computing, Argonne continues its decades-long history of providing world-leading supercomputing resources and expertise to the scientific research community.
