Weโre approaching the culmination of our efforts as a team over the last 8 months.
That's meant a lot of time away from family, late nights, and the trenches of constant problem-solving.
A big step in a journey with many more big steps to come.
This is what it's all about! โ๏ธ
Thermpdynamic computing will allow us to better understand our biology and some day help save lives.
This is just a first hello world for bio on thermo.
Much more to come. Stay tuned.
A lot of great VC is foresight, capitalized - a rare art of recognizing the inevitable before it becomes consensus, and reading human nature well enough to see who a founder becomes.
@rrhoover Oh man, that was your place?! ๐๐ I used to stand on the balcony of the Moderna building right across from you, eating lunch, just admiring the city. If that ever looked creepy, I promise it wasnโt intentional ๐คฃ
We have announced our ongoing collaboration with Microsoft and NVIDIA to accelerate nuclear energy deployment with AI.
This video from @microsoft details why the electricity problem is so important to solve and results Aalo has seen thus far.
Today, we unveiled our completed Critical Test Reactor facility.
This commercial-scale reactor with fuel to produce 10 MW of electricity was assembled on site from modular components to conclude a net ~70 day timeline from a desert plot to a reactor, reactor facility, and command & control center.
Nuclear fuel will arrive soon and, pending final DOE approval, we will go critical before the @POTUS July 4th deadline.
Here's a first look at some of the work that has gone into this unveiling:
Imagine a future Aalo facility that:
> Uses seawater for cooling,
> Desalinates that water to make it drinkable,
> Splits that salt to make sodium metal for our reactors,
> And separates out Uranium from that sea water for "limitless" fuel!
Feasibility & math below ๐
@hoosier1024@beffjezos Good question. Maybe because buying them may be harder than copying the outcome. Could be mission/culture mismatch, and Nvidia is already pursuing adjacent substrate/lithography paths. For them, Extropic isnโt just an acquisition candidate, itโs a strategic threat to watch
Our top secret master plan:
1๏ธโฃ Power AI data centers, who can pay a slight premium for speed.
2๏ธโฃ Power utilities at lower cost, strengthen the grid.
3๏ธโฃ Power developing nations. Cheap, clean, and reliable at scale.
More energy = more wealth and wellbeing.
