Well thats a pitch deck all right! Congratulations and good luck @JeffDean and team!
Replying to @JeffDean
We created a pitch deck to tell a handful of VC firms about us and what we were up to (a fun experience!). Here’s a few slides about our background and some of the things we’ve worked on from the pitch deck (it was fun putting together the list of people in our teams who have gone on to found a whole range of exciting companies). We are delighted to have selected @radicalvcfund and @khoslaventures to lead our initial funding round, along with participation from @lightspeedvp, @kleinerperkins, Doerr Capital (@johndoerr), and Alphabet (@Google). We’ll be working with them to close our seed round over the next few weeks.

Kimi K3 dropped open weights on July 27th. By that afternoon, we had it serving an OpenAI-compatible API on a single 8×B300 node using Red Hat AI Inference. This is the largest open-weight model ever
