Today Brev is acquiring @agora_io
A couple months ago, a competitor signed up for Brev. I reached out to see if there are ways we could work together
We signed mNDAs, saw identical roadmaps, started working together, had a clear culture fit.
They hit the next flight to SF ๐ค
I'm very excited that @agora_io, a company building on Akash, has been acquired by @brevdev.
This is the second instance of a company building on Akash being acquired, the first one being @cloudmosio.
Great outcome for great teams!
@akashnet and @ovrclk_ has been extremely supportive of our efforts since Day 1!
We were a group of students who couldn't find any GPUs anywhere we looked. One day, we stumbled upon Akash and after doing some initial reading, began asking numerous questions in the Discord. That's when we found an opportunity to contribute by creating a better interface for AI/ML developers to access Akash's permissionless compute.
We messaged openly in Akash's Discord, asking to speak with the Overclock team to guide us.
To our immense surprise, this call was with founder, @gregosuri and head of product, @_Anil_Murty_. They validated our insights, gave us critical feedback, and encouraged us to build on the foundation that Akash provided. We left that meeting stunned, realizing we could actually add value to the network.
If you're questioning whether to build on @akashnet, the answer is yes. Don't wait for anyone to give you a handout or tell you what to do. Be active in the Discord and Github to find direction & support. Take the initiative, provide value, and let $AKT take you๐
We will continue building on Akash.
Quite on the contraryโ I would strongly urge builders to start building on @akashnet and developers in need of compute to check out GPU offerings on https://t.co/BrncPz8s8D or https://t.co/fnC0kQFBxH
have had nothing but the best experiences with Greg and team. @FoundryServices will continue to support Akash + the mission of permissionless access to HPC.
@CUDOS_ Please correct these:
Web2 Interfaces on Akash: @agora_io, @spheron
Multi-chain Payments: Akash supports payments from multiple chains with IBC
How are you substantiating "Sustainability" as a feature?
You can now SSH directly into Agora๐
We got feedback from many users asking for the ability to SSH into instances. Well, now you got it!
This revolutionizes how to utilize the platform - you are free to build and deploy outside of Jupyter Notebooks now :)
@gregosuri Begin your AI/ML development on Agora today - we built the platform for this reason!
Give us your feedback and help us bring it to AI/ML devs everywhere๐ซก
There is no platform in the world that allows you to deploy Jupyter Notebooks on @akashnet, other than Agora.
And you can get started in <2 min! What are you waiting for?
Currently shipping the ability to SSH into GPUs on our platform...
This will completely revolutionize how engineers will utilize Agora. Stay tuned๐๐๏ธ
@MbBrainz@akashnetAI@gregosuri@KyeGomezB Hey there! You can get started on our platform in <2 minutes @ https://t.co/FvfZK5wDuO -> run a @huggingface model with our notebook interface, powered by Akash.
We have SSH capability coming soon!
Did you know with Agora, you can mount storage to any Lab with just your Gmail account?
We made it so easy for anyone to connect Google Drive to our platform and:
- upload datasets, models, notebooks
- save Agora lab and sync all work
- have access to storage for their Labs
