This video is sponsored by Augment Code. More on them later. All right, first we have an update from Thinking Machines.They just raised a massive amount of capital for what I actually don't quite know. There is very little public information about what they're actually doing. What we do know is that they're going to be training models for enterprise.They just raised $2 billion led by A16Z who basically funds every single investment on the planet at this point with participation from Nvidia, Excel, Service N ...
