Thesis: the Future Stack

The next decade belongs to builders at the intersection of four shifts.

Open-Source AI

Transparent, customizable models and tooling — the Red Hat moment for AI.

Decentralized Compute

Global markets for GPUs enable cheaper, resilient training & inference.

Verifiable Data & models

Provenance & correctness with ZK / cryptographic proofs — trustless collaboration.

Edge Deployment

Local, private, real-time AI — billions of devices, millions of models.
