Mexico is constructing Coatlicue, a 314-petaflop supercomputer, to be the largest in Latin America and among the top 20 globally. Announced in November 2025 by the Agency for Digital Transformation and Telecommunications (ATDT), it aims to address energy efficiency, weather forecasting, and corruption.

The project will feature a GPU-based architecture, a processing center with up to 200 racks and around 15,000 GPUs, and a minimum electrical consumption of 12.5 megawatts. A closed-loop geothermal cooling system is under evaluation.

Coatlicue will support research and education, preventing brain drain, and may connect with other national supercomputers to form a high-performance network. Upgrades will occur every five years to maintain competitiveness.
