You know that feeling of choice: between doing something practical, predictable and responsible vs the outrageous and exciting but far more uncertain?
I feel those competing forces, and it frustrates me no end. Breadwinner vs Buccaneer. Career vs Startup. Parent vs Entrepreneur.
How can I work on something that is very useful to many people today, and yet somehow also possibly so massive, it feels like there’s always a new height possible. A meaningful journey with no definable end.
Strong Compute is my answer to this.
Today, we build the world’s best AI compute tooling today to make millions of GPUs more useable. And at the same time, today, we build the foundation for an operating system that could span the planet and well beyond.
This is a journey that gives me fire. It has me pulling apart computers, writing code, watching space launches and playing Dyson Sphere Program with my son. A reason to speak with some of the most gifted people working on pressing pains of medical imaging, self driving, and knowledge management in large companies today, and those building asteroid mining, space data centres and new kinds of power. Ahh what bliss. The life of a founder is not so bad after all :-)
This is a journey that I’m glad to take with my team and with each of you.
Join us. Make AI practical and awesome today. Scale up workloads and data centres this decade. And let’s move compute off the planet in the years to follow.
