A TII initiative to fund researchers
Open source plays a crucial role in developing safe and secure AI. However, access to compute poses a significant barrier for many who wish to contribute.
With the dynamic nature of the Generative AI field, there is opportunity to collaborate and bring together the brightest minds in academia and innovation to boost AI technology in a way that benefits humanity.

Introducing The Falcon Ambassador’s Program
The Falcon Ambassador’s program is a platform where the world’s leading university researchers and global AI practitioners can submit their proposals to enhance TII’s Falcon LLM Series and champion the open-source movement.
The best submissions will be rewarded with compute and the opportunity to bring their ideas to life.

How it works
Keeping up with the rapid pace of innovation in Generative AI, university researchers and global AI practitioners are invited to submit proposals for projects ranging from three to nine months.
After submission, our team will carefully evaluate each proposal and shortlist outstanding participants from the talent pool.
We believe in the power of community
Embracing diverse perspectives is key to tackling complex AI challenges effectively. Our goal is to empower researchers to play an active role in enhancing the Falcon LLM Series. By embracing diversity, we unlock a wealth of solutions in harnessing the power of open-source AI to accelerate innovation.
Join us in shaping the future of AI together!
