Harnessing Global Collaboration through the Trillion Parameter Consortium

TPC has formed a strong international community with scientific diversity around the acceleration of developing and using AI to accelerate scientific discovery.  There are strong sub-communities that have formed within TPC focused on important areas such as model training, data, scientific skills and reasoning evaluation, and many scientific disciplines. 

Through working groups and hackathons, the global TPC community has catalyzed the acceleration of many individual and multi-institutional projects.  Building on these projects and collaborations, TPC leaders are exploring a number of large-scale initiatives aimed at harnessing the capabilities and resources of the global community.

There is no cost to register, but due to space limitations on available facilities, we have a limit of 50-60 participants (participants must be aged 18 or older). For this reason, we encourage only those who wish to help lead and drive a TPC-wide initiative to participate in this meeting.
