The Grid is coming.
We've partnered with Modular to create Large Scale Inference (LSI), a new OpenAI-compatible inference service. It's up to 85% cheaper than other offerings & can handle trillion-token scale. We originally created it at the request of a major AI lab to do large scale multimodal

[Yakov Smirnoff voice] In nuclear engineering, government sabotages you with Stuxnet. In AI engineering, you sabotage yourself with driver update!.
China’s $500 million AI cluster was shut down overnight—by NVIDIA. A "routine" driver update burned out 12,000 GPUs. Accident? Insiders say otherwise. Here’s the shocking tech sabotage story no one’s talking about 🧵

I love farm tech. Always looks futuristic as hell. Feeding people seems like steady business. Why does it always seem to fail?.
Dyson is now growing strawberries with robots, spinning trays and UV lights, making farming super smart and fun 🍓

I haven’t been around for many “new paradigms” but have we always solely understood them via metaphor? Did they sell us on ms-dos by being like “it’s just like punch cards!” or….
