We’re powering European scientific discovery with advanced AI compute and frontier models.

The European scientific community is receiving a significant boost in computational resources and advanced AI models, thanks to a strategic initiative led by Google Cloud and DeepMind. This collaboration is set to empower up to 200 top researchers across Europe, providing them with direct access to groundbreaking frontier models and $3 million in compute credits.

These tools include AlphaFold 3, WeatherNext, AlphaGenome, AlphaEvolve, and AlphaEarth Foundations, which are designed to tackle complex scientific challenges. This move is a key component of the European Union's AI for Science initiative, aimed at addressing the compute limitations often faced by European scientists. By equipping researchers with state-of-the-art AI tools and computational power, the initiative seeks to enhance the pace of European scientific discovery, from predicting weather patterns to mapping molecular structures.

This effort underscores the continent's commitment to maintaining its position as a leader in scientific innovation.

After shutting down the control surface, the AI task is still running: Why did we break it down into three layers?

Interacting with a terminal window on a machine through an interface is how most people start using AI to write code. As the number of tasks increases, three specific problems arise: tasks are…

  • TaskHandoff separates control plane from execution plane to address AI task management issues.
  • Control plane manages node lists, instance dashboards, AI sessions, and credentials.
