Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon University is a private research university in Pittsburgh and one of the seven Pennsylvania research universities that launched the Keystone AI and Quantum Factory on April 21, 2026 with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, the state and Team Pennsylvania, a statewide partnership to share computing resources that hasn't announced any new building, site or power use. CMU also hosted the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit on July 15, 2025, where Sen. Dave McCormick's office says companies announced more than $90 billion in energy and AI investments.

CMU and the University of Pittsburgh jointly run the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, which was established in 1986.
