Conducting useful AI safety research often requires working with cutting-edge models, but running large-scale models is expensive and often cumbersome to implement. As a result, many non-industry researchers are unable to pursue advanced AI safety research.

To address this issue, CAIS runs an initiative to provide free compute for research projects in ML safety, based on a cluster of 80 A100 GPUs, with a dedicated team to provide support to cluster users.

The CAIS Compute Cluster has already supported numerous research projects on AI safety:
