The Central Valley helps feed the world, but much of the infrastructure driving the AI economy is located elsewhere. The F3i Supercomputing Center is helping change that by bringing computing power, workforce training and innovation resources closer to the industries and communities that use them. The goal is simple: ensure the future of agricultural innovation is being built where agriculture happens.
Event Highlights:
- Remarks from U.S. Rep. Jim Costa, Microsoft, growers, startups, and community leaders across the region
- Launch of the live Supercomputing Center platform with direct access for those in the region
- AI model demonstrations and case studies
- Discussions on the Center’s role in advancing the future of agriculture and food security, workforce development, K-16 pathways, and more
