Google DeepMind to give 200 European researchers $3M in credits
Google DeepMind and Google Cloud have announced a plan to support scientific research in Europe. The initiative will provide access to their frontier AI models for up to 200 European scientific researchers. Additionally, the program includes $3M in compute credits to facilitate their work.
Key points
- Google DeepMind and Google Cloud will support up to 200 European scientific researchers.
- The program includes access to frontier AI models for the selected researchers.
- Researchers will receive a total of $3M in compute credits.
This move aims to integrate advanced AI tools into the European scientific community. By offering both model access and financial resources for computation, Google is positioning its AI infrastructure as a key resource for academic and scientific discovery. The specific details of the selection process or the duration of the program were not detailed in the brief report.
The announcement highlights a growing trend of major tech companies investing in research partnerships. Providing compute credits is a common strategy to encourage adoption of cloud services and AI models among institutions that may lack the budget for large-scale infrastructure.
