The HPC-AI Society was a proud sponsor of TPC25, the Trillion Parameter Consortium’s first annual all-hands meeting focused on advancing AI for scientific discovery, and held its July Society event on site with TPC Executive Director Charlie Catlett. President Trump just launched Genesis Mission, an ambitious plan to foster the development of AI for scientific research — well-timed to prime the pump for TPC26 in June.
The HPC-AI Society participated in IMAGE in Houston, TX with a Happy Hour at the Viridien booth and a presentation from our VP Kannan Venkataraman.
Our President Doug Norton sat down with Charlie Catlett, Executive Director of TPC, and Addison Snell, CEO of Intersect Research360, to discuss TPC’s work in advancing AI for scientific discovery and scaling engineering.
Moderated by HPC-AI Society President Doug Norton, distinguished industry professionals discussed the topic “Powering the Future: Is AI Just Buzz or the Real Deal in Energy?”
