With BayernKI, the new Bavarian IT infrastructure for AI, the Free State of Bavaria is accelerating the development and research of innovative AI methods and applications. Housed at the LRZ in Garching and the NHR@FAU, the centrally provided AI infrastructure provides dedicated support for academic AI research. It can now be used free of charge by researchers at Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences.
In addition to access to state-of-the-art hardware, users also receive individual support and advice as well as a comprehensive course program. The new BayernKI portal gives researchers quick and easy access to the AI computing capacities at both locations. In the first stage, 320 H100 GPUs from NVIDIA are available as part of BayernKI. The BayernKI infrastructure at the LRZ and NHR@FAU will be further expanded by 2028. Up to 55 million euros from the Hightech Agenda Bayern are available for BayernKI. Further information.
