NotesThe strongest live find, and the one caveat is a real gap rather than a guess: no page read states whether an individual may apply, while all three anchor projects are organizations (Tiles Privacy Technologies, Family Intelligence Inc., the Distributed AI Research Institute). The technical premise of the cohort also matters for a user: it funds work that uses less compute, not work that needs more.
