On the @theallinpod this week, @chamath asked @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about decentralized AI training, calling our Covenant-72B run "a pretty crazy technical accomplishment." One correction: it's 72 billion parameters, not four. Trained permissionlessly across 70+ contributors on commodity internet. The largest model ever pre-trained on fully decentralized infrastructure. Jensen's answer is worth hearing too.

JUST IN: Raphaël Bloch @Raph_Bloch, Co-Founder and CEO of @TheBigWhale_, joins the Content Council. We announced the council this week. Today we complete it. Most journalists covered crypto from a safe distance. @Raph_Bloch got close enough to build something. For a decade at @Reuters and @LesEchos he tracked the full arc. Banks. Financial markets. The quiet decisions that move capital at scale. And alongside it, every phase of crypto's evolution from the ICO boom to the moment institutions stopped dismissing it. By 2022 he had seen enough from the outside. He co-founded @TheBigWhale_. Not another crypto news site. Intelligence infrastructure for the institutions now taking the space seriously. Today 150+ banks, asset managers, fintechs, and major corporates rely on it to understand where European digital asset markets are actually moving. @TheBigWhale_ didn't grow by chasing retail traffic. It grew because serious capital needed a source that matched its standards. The journalist who became a builder. The builder institutions actually call. As a Content Council member, @Raph_Bloch joins the team engineering two days of dialogue at the Louvre Palace. He brings what few others on the global stage can: the European institutional perspective built from the inside. You don't want to miss: bit.ly/3Pj1dEU
