Meet Isambard-AI - the UK’s most powerful supercomputer✨

Now fully operational, Isambard is the 11th fastest AI supercomputer in the world, and one of the greenest - powered completely by zero carbon electricity.

Based at the University of Bristol, Isambard will help speed up breakthroughs in areas like healthcare, climate science and clean energy.

Research that would traditionally take scientists decades can be done in as little as a day🤯

Fun fact: it weighs the equivalent of 25 African elephants!🐘
