The 4th TPC Workshop @ SC’26: Building Open AI Infrastructure, Models, and Agentic Systems for Science will take place on the morning of 20 November 2026 in Chicago as part of the SC26 conference. The workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and organisations from academia, national laboratories, industry, and the HPC community to explore opportunities for collaboration in building large-scale AI models and systems for science and engineering. Through peer-reviewed lightning talks and discussions, it aims to foster international, multidisciplinary partnerships while encouraging participation from early- and mid-career researchers.
The workshop is motivated by the rapid advancement of foundation models, reasoning systems, and AI-driven scientific workflows, alongside growing demands on high-performance computing infrastructure. By promoting open science through shared datasets, tools, evaluation frameworks, and collaborative model development, the event seeks to advance transparent, scalable, and responsible AI for scientific discovery. It also aims to catalyse new collaborations and working groups that will help shape the future of AI for science.
EuroTPC partners are represented among the Committee Members and reviewers for this workshop, including Miguel Vazquez and Javier Aula Blasco from Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) SC, and Per Öster from CSC – IT Center for Science.
Out of 40 submissions, 10 papers were accepted and will be published in the Proceedings of the SC26 conference. Among them is one paper from EuroTPC: “Can LLMs Write Task-Based Parallel Code?” by Eduardo Iraola, Néstor Escolà, Francesc Lordan-Gomis, and Rosa M. Badia, all from BSC.
