Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.

The U.S. Department of Energy reports its "Doudna" supercomputer due in 2026 will use technology from NVIDIA and Dell. The computer, named for Nobel Prize-winning scientist Jennifer Doudna who made key CRISPR gene-editing discoveries, will be housed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, CA.
Officials report that the system will use NVIDIA's latest "Vera Rubin" chips built into liquid-cooled servers by Dell and will be used by 11,000 researchers.
The supercomputers operated by the U.S. Department of Energy help scientists carry out fundamental scientific research. Doudna said her early work on CRISPR depends on support from the DoE. The Energy Department's supercomputers are also responsible for designing and maintaining the U.S. nuclear weapons arsenal.
"The scientific supercomputer is one of humanity's most vital instruments. It is the instrument for advancing knowledge discovery," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at an event announcing the supercomputer initiative. "It is the foundation of scientific discovery for our country. It is also a foundation for economic and technology leadership. And with that, national security."
Huang's remarks came a day after he praised U.S. President Donald Trump while also sharply criticizing export controls on selling NVIDIA's chips to China that have cost NVIDIA billions of dollars in lost revenue.
