We’ve raised $300M in Series C funding at a $10.3B valuation from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Jane Street, Argo, and SK Hynix.
Our mission is to run the world's inference. This round accelerates production of our inference clusters.
We've opened an 80,000-sqft, 10-MW facility 15 minutes from our office to expedite production and prototyping.
Thousands of Iranian students came to the U.S. legally.
They went through one of the longest and strictest vetting processes of any nationality. They studied here, followed the law, and are now PhD graduates, doctors, engineers, and researchers contributing to American science and innovation.
But now their immigration cases are suddenly stopped.
• OPT for Iranian graduates has been paused, meaning many who just finished their degrees cannot work in the fields they trained for.
• Some were waiting for Employment Authorization Documents, paused.
• Some were waiting for green cards, stalled.
• Others were in the middle of an Adjustment of Status, now frozen.
This pause was supposed to last 90 days to review vetting procedures.
Many are now in limbo.
These are people who followed every rule, built careers here, and are among the highest-tax-paying communities in the U.S.
Punishing the very people who came legally and contribute to American science, medicine, and technology makes no sense.
Secretary @marcorubio
Iranian immigrants have long contributed to the U.S. economy, especially in STEM, medicine and AI. Most strongly oppose the Islamic regime and support the goal of a strong and secure USA under President Trump and your leadership.
Over the past few months, many have faced serious hardship due to the USCIS hold. They are here legally and often hold advanced degrees. Returning them to Iran would place them in danger and risk sending highly trained experts in strategic fields back to the Iranian regime.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could revisit this decision.
Thank you for your consideration.

1. The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida
The secret to understanding intimate relationships, and the difference between masculine and feminine.
9 Mental Models that will level up your Thinking:
1. Map vs. Territory - Theory has its limits. Don't rely on step-by-step instructions. Learn theory, apply it, and readjust.
2. Second-Order Thinking - Instead of thinking about the immediate consequences, think about the second-level consequences.
3. The Precautionary Principle - Precaution is better than cure.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
4. Asymmetric Bets - Put yourself in situations with limited downside and unlimited upside
5. Cause-Effect Fallacies - Keep in mind that there aren't always cause-effect relationships. Lots of stuff is random.
6. Margin of Safety - Assume that your assumptions can be wrong and plan with a safety margin.
7. Occam's Razor - Always start with the simplest explanation, the one based on the least assumptions.
Then move to the other explanations if wrong.
8. Dedication - Commit to a simple idea and take it seriously.
9. Inversion - Approach problems backward.
Don't ask: "What do I need to do?" Ask: "What must I avoid?"

1/7 How do you read a 10-k if you only have 30 minutes a day or less?
Reading the 10-k or other financial docs remain the #1 way to learn about a biz and investing.
Below is my method if I lack time.

Social media may fool you that trading is easy showing flashy lifestyle marketing but if that is the case why is it statistically proven that 90% of retail traders fail? Do not fall for the misleading marketing and selling of DREAMS! Also do not let the 90% failure rate deter you from finding success either. There are 10s of millions of retail traders around the world and 10% of them ARE SUCCESFUL reaping the endless rewards the market can provide. That is a very large population pool you can be apart of but is one of the most difficult tasks in society. Majority of them have been LEARNING for years, adapting to changing markets, following risk management, pre planned systems, trading criteria and more day in and day out. You NEED to be sharp, dedicated, consistent, disciplined, patient and have realistic expectations and goals.
