TPC26 will convene AI leaders globally from industry, academia, and national laboratories to explore collaboration across these sectors and internationally, with the goal of accelerating advances in AI to responsibly and safely address today’s scientific and engineering grand challenges.
The theme for TPC26 is to explore and pursue collaborations between industry and public sector AI research — national laboratories, universities, and institutes — including those building and utilizing AI capabilities, infrastructure, and applications.
The Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC) is a global, community-driven, open initiative that brings together researchers, technical practitioners, educators, trainees, and other stakeholders working across the fields of AI and HPC. There are currently 82 active member organizations within TPC, and all organizations are encouraged to apply for membership.
TPC is a pioneering community dedicated to enabling large-scale AI for science and engineering. By building an open environment, nurturing diverse collaborations, and aligning resources with the evolving needs of the global scientific community, TPC advances the frontier of AI while adhering to principled, responsible, and transparent development.
TPC aims to advance and accelerate the responsible, open, and safe development of large-scale AI capabilities for scientific and engineering applications. Its community represents the intersection of AI and HPC, encompassing not only the science of AI and the use of AI for scientific discovery, but also the challenges of harnessing the necessary extreme scale systems spanning data and computation.
