Aprentiz receives UKRI AIRR access to Isambard-AI

Legacy Value Ltd received a 20,000 GPU-hour allocation on Isambard-AI through the UKRI AI Research Resource (AIRR) Rapid Access programme. The project — Oracle-Accelerated Knowledge Distillation for Regulated AI — supports controlled work on local embedding, retrieval evaluation and domain-adaptation research for Aprentiz.

The award was granted through the UKRI AI Research Resource (AIRR) Rapid Access programme. Isambard-AI is the UK's most powerful AI compute facility, comprising 5,448 NVIDIA GH200 Grace-Hopper superchips operated by the University of Bristol at Bristol's National Composites Centre.

The AIRR work uses a frozen evaluation denominator of 200,392 evaluation records. Separately, a physical-source-point observation of 315,625 belongs to a distinct ingestion run. The two measurements serve different purposes: neither is presented as FCA product coverage.

The allocation is external technical selection and non-dilutive research infrastructure. It is not UKRI endorsement, regulatory approval, independent product validation, or evidence of customer outcomes.

This work was made possible through the AIRR programme, delivered by UKRI and supported by the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing.
