Hey everyone,

This is our first update ever, and we're excited to share our progress with you all.

As you may have seen on LinkedIn, we got into YC S24, we're now funded, and we've moved to San Francisco.

Week one of Y Combinator has been amazing. We heard talks from Patrick Collison (CEO of Stripe), Greg Brockman (President of OpenAI), Andy Jassy (CEO of Amazon) and Brian Chesky (CEO of Airbnb) just in the first week. We learned a lot from them and these people are truly inspiring!

Moving to San Francisco has been a big change for us. We've been working hard, ever since we got here. We even prioritized getting a whiteboard over getting beds. Yes, you read that correctly - we got a whiteboard before we got beds. For about a week, we had to sleep on the floor. Despite the lack of comfort, we got a lot of work done.

We've also met many of our batch mates at YC. The biggest takeaway is that everyone is working on something great, and they are really smart. We are truly grateful to be surrounded by the greatest founder community ever created!

We also decided to share some side-research that we did but are no longer pursuing. You can read more about it here: Wavelet Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks.

We're excited to share more updates with you all soon. But for now, I will leave you with this:

We are making the ExaFLOP sustainable.

It is truly an exciting time to be alive!
