: Neocortex AI system to participate in NAIRR two-year pilot plan

The Neocortex AI system has been selected to participate in the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) two-year pilot plan to democratize access to AI technology and research. This AI supercomputer incorporating two Cerebras CS-2 AI servers is one of six AI supercomputers in the US that will be utilized in the pilot.

Paola Buitrago, PSC’s director of artificial intelligence and big data and principal investigator for Neocortex, said, “The National AI Research Resource program will play a key role in defining AI’s impact on scientific and engineering research, influencing daily life in the US and across the globe. We are thrilled to actively contribute to the program’s initial pilot phase through PSC’s Neocortex AI-specialized supercomputer.”

He added, “Our team is eager and prepared to provide cutting-edge computing technologies and specialized expertise, supporting researchers as they explore the frontiers of both fundamental and applied AI research. We believe in the program’s potential to shape the AI landscape and look forward to playing a key role in its success.”
