"Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Constructs Massive AI GPU Cluster for Revolutionary Medical Research"

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is funding the construction of a large computing system for medical research, consisting of over 1,000 top-of-the-line H100 GPUs. The aim is to provide researchers with access to generative AI models to study healthy and diseased cells, potentially leading to groundbreaking discoveries in disease prevention and management. The CZI-funded computing system will be trained on existing datasets, including data from a Chan Zuckerberg software tool that has cataloged 50 million unique cells. The new GPU cluster is expected to be one of the largest AI clusters used for nonprofit research, accelerating medical research and promoting collaboration among scientists.
