sunlight breathing on e-ink
more fast e-ink! here’s @farayofsun’s beautiful dappled sun piece, and evan wallace’s webgl caustic renderer. i feel like pieces emulating nature work particularly well on this display.

a new home for @sfcompute :’)

more to come!
I am so proud of the SFC site redesign. Our brand has always been understated, but as we grow as a company we also need to evolve our aesthetic. Shout-out to @farayofsun for doing the heavy lifting, so much fun concepting with you.

hi! please meet givemeanode.com!

it's a new autoresearch product from the san francisco compute company.

try asking it to "download insert-model-here off huggingface and optimize it 4x and don't stop until it's done." let it run for days.

you know those massive grab ks others do? we want to let you do that too, for cheap. lets let anyone train models.

it's backed by a big, fair queue that makes sure nobody can just buy out the whole thing, so there's always space for experiments. struggling to get gpus? try here <3 it's not just a business promise, it's how the product works!

it doesn't require you to sign some big long reserved contract for years, where you're betting your balance sheet on your gpu bill, because it's backed by the liquidity of sfcompute.

it's built for ridiculous redundancy & reliability. jobs can die and restart from the same point & the scheduler keeps headroom for you.

even the platform itself going down does not stop your agent, because we've built ticketing straight into the mcp that lets your agent recover from outages. we've taken the thing offline, started it up again, and agent-supervised training runs just keep on going.

it's got platform-native support for grant programs, meaning you can buy capacity, and sponsor other accounts.

it's got s3 compatible storage, hugging face integrations, scratch disks & persistent volumes, clock locking, ncu support, metrics, logs, traces, checkpointing, and a whole grab bag of other stuff. but you shouldn't worry about that. let your agent sweat those details.

we'd love for you to try it, DM me for some GPU credits if you'd like!

made with shaders in GLSL, including custom noise functions, path sampling, and color blending. this took several months to bring to life &lt;3
