every technological revolution starts with belief. every wave of social adoption starts just the same way. i'll give you a quick example
whenever you plan an event, a whole host of concerns come at you one by one. first, it's marketing. then, logistics. then, d-day
there's always some notion of playing it by ear. you get the big picture set in mind, and then whatever comes, you roll with the punches
shortly after i became cerebras' ambassador for singapore, i landed in sf for an accelerator. the first night post-landing was cafe compute sf
it was there that the seeds for a big thing for singapore, a new big thing were sown. cafe compute singapore happened <60d later
more than a few people truly made this happen, and in a very singaporean way. a community spirit, a steady backing that never wavers
michael from sq collective was the first to say yes. i'd been working at arguably sg's most dynamic builder space for the better part of the year thus far
we'd ran the embodied agents lab out of sq. and again and again, from sharings to large scale events, michael and team have been all in
basically, real people doing it for real people
then i needed a showman, a truly good one who knows the game inside out. yong quan was the obvious choice. ofc it had to be the guy who somehow got me to share my first public software demo back in 2024
basically, a real community operator
and it wasn't just a bottom up thing. great folks at cerebras hq worked out co-marketing with the openai team, securing it at just the last min. ambassadors (hi brian) made it work too
everywhere, beliefs & bets drive the world
in this vein, cerebras is just the same. as is curve labs, the neolab i run. as is everyone building in the age of superintelligence
the most important thing we can do to drive innovation, drive adoption, drive engagement is to flood the world with beliefs & bets on the future
i'm doing that right now, and i hope you'll join me on this journey with cerebras as we bring insanely fast inference to everyone in the world
