Mark Zuckerberg says researchers at his philanthropy don't want more lab space or head count: 'They just want GPUs'

"We are not expanding a lot of square footage, per se, but we're expanding our compute," Chan said on an episode of " The a16Z Podcast" that aired November 6, when talking about their investment in Biohub, a collection of biology labs the philanthropy has backed since 2016. "The researchers, they don't want employees working for them, they don't want space, they just want GPUs," Zuckerberg added. "In a sense, that's new lab space. It's much more expensive than wet lab space," said Chan, who is a pediatrician by training.
