Winner Projects of the Gauss AI Compute Competition

The Gauss Centre for Supercomputing has partnered with federal and state government funding agencies to promote the development of new generative artificial intelligence models through a competition leveraging the power of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre’s exascale supercomputer, JUPITER.

To further promote the AI uptake in German research and industry, the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), along with the German Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space, the State Ministry for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Ministry of Science Research and the Arts of Baden-Württemberg and the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts held the “Gauss AI Compute Competition.”
