Decart

Thousands of people in the line 😅 adding compute to handle the load!

I am excited to lead Benchmark’s $25m investment in Decart and partner with @DLeitersdorf and @MosheSshalev , building the future of AI social experiences. At 23 Dean had earned his PhD and produced award winning research on efficient distributed algorithms in sparse matrix multiplication. A lot of the current AI revolution is explained by parallelizing computation and speeding up matrix multiplication, so Dean knew the techniques he invented could bring new products to life. In the beginning, Decart helped companies train large models 3x faster netting the startup multi million dollar contracts, but the founders quickly realized that by being faster and cheaper, they could create experiences that were not possible before. That led them to launch Oasis, the first real time video model in the world. For the first time you could show a video game to a model and the model would infinitely expand it, allowing you to play without the need of a game engine. On top of that, Oasis is a full 10x cheaper than the most popular video models. At a time when companies are charging as much as $200 a month for cutting edge capabilities, Oasis is completely free, with no ads. If you haven't tried it, you can do it now at decart ai. The last decade saw very little innovation on social. AI will change that, by allowing experiences we only dreamed of. Oasis sparked the imagination of millions of people who played it. I believe the next application of this model will be 10x bigger. Grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this journey alongside @shaunmmaguire and @orenzeev .

bizarre and fascinating is good!
