Chalk for Researchers

Run next-generation AI projects and get to results faster. Chalk gives academics, labs, and research teams GPU access and a complete environment to produce publish-ready work.

What academics and research teams get

Compute, tooling, and amplification for research, in one program built to help you solve ambitious problems.

GPU capacity when you need it

Run inference and experiment workloads on GPUs, without waiting in a queue. Chalk gets you access free.

A complete research environment

Full access to Chalk including Sandboxes, Model Gateway, Evaluations, Notebooks, and MCP Gateway.

Visibility for your work

When you publish a paper, release a dataset, or host an event, we help share it with the wider AI community.

Who can apply

You're an academic, lab, or part of a research program pushing AI and ML forward.
Your experiments need GPU compute and fresh, real-world data.
You need a secure way to connect academic, institutional, or sensitive data sources to your models and agents.
