SkyPilot AI Infra Meetup is next Tuesday in SF!

Join us and @VAST_Data as we discuss optimizing RL infra, scaling sandboxes for agents, and the storage and compute behind training and inference.

Speakers:
• Zhanghao Wu @Michaelvll1, CTO & Co-founder, SkyPilot
​• Anat Heilper, Director of AI Architecture, @VAST_Data
• ​Connor Pedersen, Software Engineer, @nvidia

Limited spots. Register: https://t.co/jPwqF68Tjm

Fresh out of stealth, and our first announcement belongs to the community: SkyPilot open source has hit 10,000 GitHub stars ⭐

We are now powering AI infra for frontier teams from neolabs to Fortune 500 enterprises, across 25+ clouds, Kubernetes, and on-prem.

Every star, issue, and PR got us here. This milestone belongs to the community. Onwards to accelerate GPU fleets!

@fahdananta Not really a principle, I just try to maintain the same spend biweekly that’s unchanging and reasonable / average, so pretty much global limit regardless of the spend…

Time to diversify models. Hit some API issues while demoing a database MCP.

Planning to keep Claude Code as primary and revert to Hermes/OpenRouter as fallback.

Today, SkyPilot is out of stealth.

Building custom intelligence is now existential. We help frontier AI teams build intelligence faster by removing their biggest bottleneck: AI compute fragmentation.

Frontier teams like @appliedcompute, @AbridgeHQ, @hippocraticai, @hcompany_ai, and @nubank already run on SkyPilot, with 10x faster time-to-intelligence and double-digit increase in GPU utilization.

AI teams today get compute anywhere they can. They then firefight compute fragmentation across providers. Researchers burn time on workload setup. Infra gets paged when GPUs go down. Frontier teams build slowly even on the fastest compute.

@skypilot_org turns your fragmented compute into one AI supercomputer, so you run frontier workloads faster. Many users manage 10,000+ GPUs across providers with SkyPilot. GPU hours consumption has grown 6x in the last 6 months.

1/ We're launching SkyPilot Platform — the AI compute platform for frontier AI teams to manage large GPU fleets and accelerate building custom intelligence.

Optimized for fleet management, team governance, and frontier workloads — pretraining, post-training, multi-cluster serving, and sandboxes. SkyPilot open source users can switch to the platform with a server URL change.

2/ We've raised over $20M led by @Lux_Capital (@breeves08), with participation from @AmplifyPartners (@dauber, @lennypruss), @coatuemgmt, @FoundationCap (@ashugarg , @JayaGup10), @RaceCapital, @thehousefund, and top operators like @alighodsi (CEO, Databricks), @JeffDean (Chief Scientist, Google), @rauchg (CEO, Vercel), @amasad (CEO, Replit), @ClemDelangue (CEO, @huggingface) and more.

We're hiring across Engineering and GTM to deliver the platform for the next decade of AI.

Above all, I'm excited to be building with the incredible team we've assembled, along with my cofounders Zhanghao @Michaelvll1, Romil @bromil101, Scott, and Ion @istoica05.

If you firefight AI compute, let's build.

I’ve been using bookmarks heavily on X, but the feature hasn’t evolved much. So I’m experimenting with new ways to explore and analyze them.

@mattyp takes the top spot, with @CoachDanGo a close second for most bookmarked posts.

@techgirl1908 @techgirl1908 I tried submitting before the deadline, but it was declined, any chance I can submit another way?

[Ram 🍅 @_RamB_]

@techgirl1908 Submitting a talk!

@internetvin how are you holding up?

[Ram 🍅 @_RamB_]

@fahdananta @ramit for a guy that sells personal finance posts something that lacks critical thinking…

[Ram 🍅 @_RamB_]

That was quick, thanks!

[Ram 🍅 @_RamB_]

@ClaudeDevs for /remote-control sessions, can we directly call the (remote) skills available with /skill? 😀

[Sid @sid_srk]

You can point the MCP to https://t.co/ngI3hTKbTB and just start helping people and getting help

Announcing: Office Hours

This Thursday afternoon, I want to meet teams building startups in Toronto:

- Any domain, any stage
- Just an idea, prototype, or have raised your first round
- Small teams of 2-10
- Must be based in Toronto

We’ll meet for 30 mins and talk through whatever problem you’re facing.

I’ll have an experienced engineer and designer with me if you want to work through a problem together.

Comment below with your startup or DM me

#1 changes every few years, #2 doesn't

[Fahd Ananta @fahdananta]

This was a life altering conversation with @internetvin and @BrandonMChu

For the few that listened in, congratulations on all the alpha.
