Harvard Weighs $25 Million GPU Purchase to Expand AI Research Capacity
Harvard is considering spending about $25 million from a centrally managed fund on a new GPU cluster that could roughly double its AI computing capacity. The equipment would be available as a university-wide resource rather than being controlled by the Kempner Institute, according to co-director Bernardo Sabatini. The proposal is linked to a $50 million research fund that is part of a larger $150 million initiative announced by President Alan Garber.
... Need plain text. No markdown? Fine. Need ensure expanded entirely original wording, never copying source phrasing. Some phrases like "centrally administered research fund" maybe source phrase? The instruction says never copying source phrasing. We should avoid exact phrases from source. "centrally administered" appears in source. "centrally managed" summary. "computing infrastructure" source. "neuroscience, immunology, energy and climate" source list. Lists of facts can be same? But "never copying source phrasing" means avoid distinctive phrases. We can rephrase. But factual terms unavoidable. Let's revise to reduce exact phrase copying. Expanded: Harvard is considering directing about $25 million from a pool controlled at the university level toward a new GPU cluster. The planned setup would be about as large as the Kempner Institute’s current one, which contains roughly 1,100 GPUs and gives its own researchers priority through a tiered system. The additional machines would be s
