In Response to the Funding Crisis Project Robbie is Free for 90 Days
SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Positron Networks is expanding access to their AI-powered research tools by offering 90 days of free access to Project Robbie, the advanced AI and machine learning platform. This decision was based on supporting researchers, educators, and organizations by removing financial barriers and providing powerful computational resources at a time when research funding is increasingly uncertain.
“Advancing research and education requires access to reliable and scalable computing power,” said Sid Rao, CEO of Positron Networks. “With funding limitations making it difficult for researchers and students to train models and conduct large-scale experiments, Project Robbie is happy to offer 90 days of free access to help bridge the gap and accelerate innovation.”
Project Robbie is a high-performance cloud computing service designed to automate AI and machine learning GPU workloads, which allows users to train models seamlessly. In response to the ongoing funding crisis, Positron Networks is making Project Robbie available at no cost for 90 days to public researchers, government agencies, universities, and nonprofits. This offer allows access to high-performance GPUs and an intuitive platform that eliminates the need for complex cloud setup and can support multiple programming languages, including Python, Fortran, and MATLAB. Project Robbie is a token-based access system that allows users to easily run AI and machine learning experiments without requiring extensive IT or cloud expertise.
The ongoing funding crisis has placed a significant strain on universities and public research labs, many of which rely on federal grants and institutional support to continue their work. The recent policy changes and budget cuts have led to hiring freezes, grant terminations, and increased uncertainty for researchers at all levels. Scientists across the country have voiced concerns about how these shifts are threatening innovation, from biomedical breakthroughs to climate science and artificial intelligence advancements. By offering free access to Project Robbie, Positron Networks aims to offer researchers a stable resource during these unpredictable funding times.
University researchers and students can leverage Project Robbie for complex AI and machine learning experiments, while educators and institutions can incorporate real-world AI applications into their curricula. Nonprofit and government organizations can use the platformās advanced computing power to support data-driven projects, and independent researchers working outside large institutions are encouraged to apply.
Project Robbieās free 90-day access is available to individuals and organizations with an EDU, GOV, or ORG email address. Users can sign up for free access by completing the application form HERE before receiving their access token. In exchange for free access, Positron Networks requests feedback and usage data to improve the platform and better serve the research and education communities.
