Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

this would have been the UK's most valuable AI startup had it not relocated in December last year.
Very painful for the UK
Two Oxford grads have built an $18bn company that is enabling Google to take on Nvidia.
Gary Wu and Jamie Cox started Fluidstack in 2017, renting out spare gaming GPUs to AI researchers who couldn't get compute any other way.
Now @fluidstack builds and runs the data centres that house Google's AI chips (or TPUs).
Anthropic just agreed to buy up to 1 million of these TPUs from Google in a $200B deal, and Fluidstack is the company building and running the sites to put them in.
The company announced its first-ever funding round earlier this year - a $750m round in July at $7.5bn.
However, it has also closed an unreported $1.5bn round led by Jane Street at an $18bn valuation.
Google's TPUs are a real alternative to Nvidia, but only if someone can get the data centres up and running fast enough to run them at scale.
Fluidstack is claiming it can build a data center in 3 months vs. a year for the hyperscalers.
The interesting, and PAINFUL, part of the story is that Fluidstack was HQ'ed in London until December last year.
If it had stayed it would be Europe's most valuable AI startup.
Great write up from @_IainMartin in @Forbes linked below.

“Hyperscalers”, tech giants such as Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft, account for roughly half of Nvidia’s revenue. But most of them have begun designing their own chips, which puts their future purchases from Nvidia in doubt economist.com/interactive/br…

All European nations to boycott World Cup if Fifa goes ahead with controversial investment plan bbc.in/3RDovXM

Let me say this very directly.
Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.
The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.
Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.
