CalCompute

California's public cloud computing cluster for safe, ethical, equitable, and sustainable AI - fully owned and hosted within the University of California.

Established by California Senate Bill 53 on 9/29/2025

Why Now?

CalCompute is designed to make AI development safe, ethical, equitable, and sustainable while ensuring powerful computing resources are accessible to everyone - not just big tech companies. California already leads the world in AI innovation, and CalCompute aims to expand that innovation to benefit everyone through advances in medicine, wildfire prediction, climate science, and more.

Our Framework

AP0110 envisions a future where CalCompute leverages Independent Internet (Web 4.0) technologies to create a resilient public cloud computing infrastructure for all Californians.

Safety

Ensuring AI development prioritizes public safety

  • •Post-quantum security protocols
  • •ISO/IEC 20243, 27001, 42001 compliance
  • •Self-healing infrastructure

Ethics

Maintaining ethical standards in AI research and deployment

  • •GDPR and AI Act compliant
  • •Transparency in data flows
  • •User control and opt-out capabilities

Equity

Expanding access to computational resources for equitable innovation

  • •Decentralized infrastructure eliminates barriers
  • •Mesh networking for underserved areas
  • •Proven equity focus in practice

Sustainability

Promoting sustainable development and operation

  • •99.9% less power consumption (0.00033 cWh vs 1.1 cWh)
  • •Edge computing reduces data center dependency
  • •Local processing minimizes energy costs

(A) Landscape Analysis of California's Cloud Computing Infrastructure

A comprehensive landscape analysis of California's current public, private, and nonprofit cloud computing platform infrastructure, examining existing capabilities, gaps, and opportunities for CalCompute integration.

UC & Beyond

AP0110 envisions CalCompute established with large-scale data centers at each UC Campus and smaller computing units in government buildings throughout California. This distributed infrastructure model reduces the cost of data-transit and secures sensitive data by keeping it close to home.
