# CalCompute — California's Public AI Cloud

AP0110 is partnered with the [UC CalCompute Coalition](https://CaliforniaCompute.org) to donate expertise and resources toward the creation of the **CalCompute Consortium** and California's public AI infrastructure. CalCompute was established by California Senate Bill 53 (SB-53), signed September 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. The UC CalCompute Coalition is building the consortium and delivering the January 1st Framework Report required by SB 53.

## CalCompute × AP0110

- **Founded by UC graduates** — rooted in the same academic mission CalCompute serves.
- **Powered by UC students** — building equitable technology workforce pathways.
- **Partnered with the UC ecosystem** — UC Berkeley, UC Riverside, and the UC CalCompute Coalition.

## The Four Pillars

- **Safety** — post-quantum security; ISO/IEC 20243, 27001, 42001 compliance; self-healing infrastructure.
- **Ethics** — GDPR and AI Act compliant; transparency in data flows; user control and opt-out.
- **Equity** — decentralized infrastructure and mesh networking eliminate barriers for underserved areas.
- **Sustainability** — dramatically lower power consumption; edge computing reduces data-center dependency.

## Why AP0110?

AP0110's Independent Internet (Web 4.0) technology and commitment to safe, ethical, equitable, and sustainable AI directly align with CalCompute's core mission.
