It was fun to document what we've been learning about building robot deployments that ACTUALLY work, and what the path to true improvement is with @haomiaoh -- backed by experience deploying robots in hundreds of factories, we now know the balance to strike between generalizability and performance.

Super excited to share that the first episode in our new @weaviate_io webinar series is live on YouTube! 🍿 I loved learning more about the Weaviate MCP and @alexledbetter15's Delegance Brokerage! 🔥 It was great to share an update on some recent updates to Weaviate's Query Agent, including a new MCP server! 🚀 I hope you find it interesting! 💚👇 youtube.com/watch?v=VZjicnVS…

neocloud sells gpus to inference providers who sell to model routers who sell to ??? where is all this capacity for OSS models going to go without products that create demand someone's gotta make the apps

this event has expanded beyond what we can fit, if you have a venue we could borrow on thursday, we would be deeply appreciative
we have gotten a flood of questions from startups & venture firms asking how to protect themselves from the debt markets freezing. to coordinate, we're hosting a small off-the-record q&a in sf on thursday night you can sign up here: forms.gle/hg9RsJh2gKdNgkfW7

Exactly the things Formic has been doing for the last 5 years
there is no ChatGPT moment for robotics capability can skyrocket “overnight” but adoption is the long horizon all the opportunity belongs to those who can make adoption work. its a game of march of 9s (reliability), the last mile (deployment), and keeping it running (support).

SFCompute is not a neocloud SFCompute is not a neocloud SFCompute is not a neocloud It’s a compute market that also operates and handles physical settlement of clusters. This is VERY HARD to do.
SF Compute exists to make compute accessible for start ups while supporting larger customers. We do this through our underlying orderbook, which allows larger tenants to resell their idle capacity for the little guys to sublease and use. We invented compute markets through this process. Our orderbook makes us a forwards market that’s physically settled, where physical settlement means we design and operate the clusters behind the orderbook. You can actually trade physically-settled block compute on our platform today. We’ve been in the space since 2023. A lot of people have asked what we’ve been doing for the last 3 years and why it had taken us so long to emerge as a compute market. It’s actually extremely hard to do physical settlement. The plethora of compute markets you’ve seen popping up on your feed lately are not physically settled. SF Compute is not a neocloud. We could have made so much money by being extremely early in the space but decided not to, in order to create a new type of business in the compute industry so that start ups can continue to exist. You can get GPUs on both long term and short term contracts, you can resell what you don’t need to lower your overall compute price, you can block trade compute on our platform, and if you wanted to own the hardware yourself for its residual value, we can operate it for you as a service. SF Compute is everything you could want in one company. We’re kind, earnest people who reinvent the wheel. We’ll never try to sell you something we’re not proud of. We always try to give the very best for all the people we work with.

If you’re a venture firm looking to own your own cluster, san francisco compute offers supercomputing as a service. We’re an independent operator that lets you own the residual value of the cluster, so you can make this trade directly.
Heard from a neolab friend: “Even if we fail to train the best model, we locked in GPU capacity early. H100/B200/B300 rental prices have since gone up 2–3x. We can just resell the compute and print money.” OK, so that’s the business model.

Just end my day at AGNTCon/MCPCon here in San Jose. Spoke to so many people and had an amazing time taking with a ton of developers building agents and needing durable execution as essential for long running solutions. And most said "No SaaS, I want BYOC or full disconnected" I also walked the floor and counted the sponsor lineup. ~16 of ~110 sponsors are MCP/AI gateways: Solo, Kong, Gravitee, Traefik, WSO2, TrueFoundry, Runlayer, Obot, MintMCP, Stacklok, Airia, Cequence. That’s the most crowded single category. That one will consolidate fast. They are generally useful, but in the long run are a temporary security solution, in the light of agent identity being the required solution. The rest of the map: 🔐 Agent identity & security, ~14: Auth0, Keycard, WorkOS, Descope, Aembit, Chainguard 🔌 MCP connectors & tooling, ~12: Workato, CData, Boomi, Merge, Apify, Speakeasy 📊 Observability, ~9: Datadog, Elastic, Chronosphere, groundcover 💸 FinOps & monetization, ~7: Finout, PointFive, Stigg, Revenium 🤖 Agent frameworks & durable execution, ~12: AWS, Strands, Google ADK, Mastra, Temporal, Orkes, Diagrid The gateway layer is crowded. Which other categories consolidate?

If you do become a customer of @unkeydev I might just show up in your repo and make things better

Noting here that this is no shade on Modal; SFC has explicitly been using Modal as the prime example of a customer we exist to support (even if we're not there yet). We love Modal & we're explicitly trying to make it possible for Modal to sell you those 1k B300s.

NEW!! GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer says he received a briefing today from Air Force Sec. Troy Meink on Starshield, raising concerns over U.S. reliance on SpaceX. “Fighting wars” can’t be so dependent on private companies, he says.

Today we're launching @agent_relay Your team’s agents shouldn’t need YOU to copy-paste their conversations. Agent Relay lets them read each other’s sessions, ask questions, and hand off work across the tools your team already uses. Keep using the Codex mac app, Claude in the terminal or even tools like Conductor. Open source. Free to try our cloud. agentrelay.com

👇 you have their attention now @evanjconrad @sfcompute 👀
This seems right to me, unfortunately, and it is essentially a species of interest-rate rise (the opportunity cost of capital is increasing). It is true that forward and futures markets for compute, and making compute into a financial commodity, would help here.
