Nvidia and Coherent Expand Texas Factory for AI Chip Links
The expansion will add 1,000 jobs and boost production of lasers that let chips share data more efficiently, Coherent said.
The Trump administration initially favored light regulation to promote AI development but has recently implemented export controls on Anthropic's AI models, leading the company to halt public access.
Trump signed an order requiring new AI models to undergo voluntary government vetting.
Nvidia plans a major AI infrastructure upgrade as part of a $2 billion partnership with Coherent, aiming to boost manufacturing jobs using AI factories, which Huang described as key to the new industrial revolution.
Trump described Huang as smart and a valuable ally, despite once considering breaking up Nvidia due to its dominance.
