California AI compute programs and resources
This page reports what the sources say. It is not a position of the consortium.
Each row is one California program, resource, organization or project in AI, data science or computing that a source page in this library describes. A row states only what its sources say. A blank cell means that no cited source states the fact. Not stated in Cost or Get access means the same. A cell with several values separates them with a semicolon. Link is the public address of the record, as a cited source gives it.

Regions
The California region column uses the 13 Jobs First regions, spelled as page 7 of CJF Investment Playbook 2025 (web) prints them:
- North State
- Redwood
- Capital
- Sierra
- Bay Area
- North San Joaquin
- Central San Joaquin
- Central Coast
- Kern County
- Los Angeles County
- Orange County
- Inland SoCal
- Southern Border
The rule:
- A row gets a region name only when a cited source gives a county, city or campus that the Playbook places in that region. The row then cites the Playbook too.
- Page 7 of the Playbook lists the counties of each region. A city counts through its county.
- The region pages of the Playbook place these campuses and laboratories:
- Bay Area (p. 47): UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, Stanford, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories.
- Central Coast (p. 53): UC Santa Cruz, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, UC Santa Barbara.
- Los Angeles County (p. 56): USC, UCLA, Caltech.
- Orange County (p. 59): UC Irvine, CSU Fullerton.
- Inland SoCal (p. 61): UC Riverside, CSU San Bernardino.
- A record can have more than one region, for example a program with sites in several regions.
Statewidemarks a record that its source describes as statewide, or as open to all of state government or a whole public system.Nationalmarks a national resource that Californians can use.- A blank cell means that no cited source gives a place that the Playbook puts in a region. The Playbook does not place UC San Diego, UC Davis or UC Merced. A row for one of these campuses has a region only when a cited source gives the city.
⚠️ Contradiction: CJF Investment Playbook 2025 (web) names a region “North San Joaquin” (p. 7). California Jobs First regions names it “Northern San Joaquin”. This page uses the Playbook spelling.
Serves, Offers, Domains and Cost
- Serves gives the groups that a cited source names as users or as eligible: UC, CSU, Community colleges, Government, Nonprofits, Industry, Public.
- Offers gives what a user gets. It uses one fixed list of eight values:
- GPU compute
- CPU compute
- Cloud credits
- Data access
- Network
- Training
- Funding
- Advice and support
- Domains uses one fixed list of nine values:
- Compute
- Data and networks
- Workforce and learning
- Health and life sciences
- Energy and physical sciences
- Agriculture and environment
- Government services
- Governance and policy
- Funding
- Cost is one of
Free,Fee,CreditsorNot stated. A short note can follow in parentheses.Creditsmeans that the user receives credits to spend with a provider.
Access, Get access and Link
- Access says who can use the record.
- Get access gives the route as a source states it: where to apply or sign in, what to submit, and the review time or deadline. It says so when a source reports a paused or closed route.
- Link is one public address of the record: its own program, access or apply page. A cited source page carries each address, in its
url, in its text or in its raw or cached copy. A blank Link means that no cited source gives one.
