In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I discuss how Google Cloud's $3 million in computing credits could help European researchers tackle some of science's most persistent challenges.
Highlights
00:03 — Google Cloud, alongside Google DeepMind, are planning to give up to 200 leading European scientific researchers direct access to Google's frontier models, as well as $3 million in Google Cloud computing credits. The credits are essentially there to ensure researchers have the computing capacity that they need for their research.
00:27 — So, beyond the models, researchers will also have access to some incredibly powerful tools like AlphaFold 3, a well-known tool that...
