A community-powered AIRanger.dev initiative
Give useful hardware
a second life in San Diego.
AI Labs San Diego puts donated compute, laptops, and e-waste into learning labs, community infrastructure, and responsible local AI projects.
COMPUTE
Hardware We Need Right Now
What would help this month
What we accept
Useful, safe, and honest is enough.
We welcome equipment that can support learning, local infrastructure, or responsible recycling. Technical specifications are helpful but never required.
A clear two-gate process
People stay in the loop.
Offer hardware
Share what you have, including photos when possible. You receive a private status link.
Human review
Our team checks fit, safety, and current needs. Approval is never automatic.
Propose a time
Approved donors receive a private scheduling link and choose from published slots.
Human confirmation
Your time is only final after staff confirm it. Then bring the equipment to the listed location.
Start an offer
Tell us what you can share.
Start with the essentials. You can include one or more items in the same offer. A photo helps our team triage faster.
Already submitted?
Check your private status link.
Paste the token from your confirmation email. Status links expire and are not searchable by reference number.
Good to know
Before you bring anything
What happens to data-bearing devices?
Remove your personal data before handoff. If a drive is present, tell us whether it has been erased so staff can handle it appropriately.
Can I just show up?
No. An offer must pass hardware review, and a proposed time must be separately confirmed by staff.
What if the item is broken?
Tell us honestly. We may accept e-waste or parts, but capacity and safety vary.
