## Definition

A **hyperscaler** is one of the few companies that operates cloud computing at massive scale, supplying the vast computing capacity that AI systems run on. In the captured material, the term's usage points to firms like Microsoft, which a state government partners with to build AI programs.

In the material captured here, **hyperscaler** appears in the context of a state government's AI strategy. New Jersey's AI hub is being built *with* a major cloud provider — Microsoft — and the governor frames such companies as the infrastructure-level partners a state needs when it wants to run AI programs at scale. The point being made is not about cloud jargon for its own sake: it is that the enormous computing capacity behind modern AI is concentrated in the hands of a few companies, and institutions that want to build on AI end up partnering with them directly.
