We’ve been awarded 10,000 GPU hours on Isambard-AI.

Social care · 6 November 2026

QuantumColleagues has been awarded 10,000 GPU hours on Isambard-AI, the UK’s national AI supercomputer, through the AI Research Resource (AIRR) programme.

We already run local AI safely with a care provider. Isambard-AI lets us go much further. We’ll test a range of open models against large volumes of synthetic care data, find which suit care work best, and learn how to optimise them for providers’ own hardware.

With the government working towards a National Care Service, we want that evidence ready for the whole sector. We’ll share what we find here.

The full announcement is in our press release.

The AIRR programme supports this work. UK Research and Innovation and the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade fund the programme, and the University of Bristol operates Isambard-AI.

Businesses buy our AI, and that funds free post-AI training for every generation.
Do some good with AI.
