@nat would you be interested in presenting about this at The AI Conference in SF?

Your take on hardware-enabled investment would be interesting.

We also have folks like Hugging Face’s GPT Research Lead, Langchain and LlamaIndex founders, Cerebras’s CEO and many more speaking. It’s A builder-heavy audience.

AI Grant, back in 2018, offered £2500 and got all sorts of skeptical folks doubting Nat's and Daniel's motives (they will steal IP! there's some gotcha here!): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16760736

They offer 100x that at £250000 per team now, plus this humongous GPU cluster. Way to start small and work your way to this. Amazing execution.

April 2018 was a more nascient time for AI: BERT wasn't open sourced until November 2018 and GPT-2 wasn't open sourced until February 2019, both of which kicked off the AI boom.
