Isambard-AI and Dawn AIRR supercomputers: Innovator route

This opportunity provides flexible computational support for AI-related research and development projects that will expand AI capabilities and push current AI boundaries. It encourages the formation of broader research teams and partnerships, fostering multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral innovation. The Innovator route offers an open and adaptable pathway for accessing computational resources, available to users across academia, industry and individual research, within the broad remit of the AIRR programme. It builds upon the existing Gateway route by supporting larger, more ambitious projects that continue to explore emerging areas of AI. This route is designed to help build capacity across the UK's compute ecosystem for AI research through experimentation, cross-sector collaboration and skills development. Applicants can request between 50,000 and 150,000 GPU hours on either Dawn or Isambard-AI supercomputers, to be used over a six-month project. No funding is provided, only computational resources.
