Encode AI
Bottom line
- Encode AI co-sponsored SB-53, the bill that created CalCompute.
Why they matter
- The author’s release names it as a sponsor. It promises “free and low-cost access to compute for startups and academic researchers” (Wiener SB-53 expansion release 2025-07-09).
- Sunny Gandhi, Vice President of Political Affairs at Encode: “With CalCompute, we’re democratizing access to the computational resources that power AI innovation” (Wiener SB-53 introduction release 2025-02-28 (web)).
