Compute Grants & Calls for Collaboration

The objective is to pool resources across leading academic institutions. To facilitate research on frontier AI foundation models, we are holding regular calls that are also open to researchers in Europe and beyond. For 2026, the 10-20 million GPU hours should be distributed. The large compute call – targeted at projects requesting more than 500k GPU hours – is held twice a year. Applications for small compute grants are continuously accepted.
