excited to share that we've raised $15m led by @foundersfund with participation from @MenloVentures @karpathy @ClementDelangue @tri_dao @dylan522p @balajis @EMostaque @ilblackdragon and many others
Announcing our $15m raise — led by @foundersfund. To build our peer to peer compute and intelligence protocol. With participation from @MenloVentures and angels like @karpathy @ClementDelangue @tri_dao @dylan522p @balajis @EMostaque and many others.
"Currently, a company seeking to use large-scale compute must often sign long-term contracts with hyperscalers ... America has solved this problem before with other goods through financial markets ... [we] can accelerate the maturation of a healthy financial market for compute."
hell yeah
Open source: 'We need to ensure America has leading open models founded on American values. Open-source and open-weight models could become global standards in some areas of business and in academic research worldwide. For that reason, they also have geostrategic value.'

Prime Intellect’s “staff tweeting good stuff” game rivals the peak of OpenAI’s (which coincides with when I was there ofc) + may currently be SOTA
If you're in Europe and want to work on open and distributed AGI, apply to us at @PrimeIntellect We're hybrid, large part of the team is based in SF and parts are remote and come to SF frequently. We sponsor US o1 visas. jobs.ashbyhq.com/PrimeIntellect
I realized at our Berlin event that there are a lot of talented and ambitious young ppl in Europe. Just (almost) no inspiring company to build the future nor VC that have the balls to give them a chance. No wonder why everybody wants to come to sf|

my piquant quantization kernels are almost 50 times faster than pytorch's on the CPU. pytorch’s sub‑byte quantization (torch.quint4x2, torch.quint2x4) is quite slow. 1/2
.@jackminong is presenting our work on TOPLOC for verifiable inference at ICML in Vancouver. Poster session today / wednesday at 4:30 PM ICML – East Hall E-1106
cya at 4:30pm East Exhibition Hall E-1106
If you're at ICML and interested in verifiable inference, make sure to stop by our poster! We will present TOPLOC, an efficient activation hashing method that works across a variety of settings, e.g. switching inference setups or even models. July 16, 4:30pm, E-1106
perhaps it's time we re-enter the pretraining game 👀
there are verifiable tasks everywhere for those with the eyes to see
