ML4 was trained on 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in our European datacenters -- our cluster in Bruyères-le-Châtel built using our Series B fundraise.
We are investing heavily in infrastructure, with our Series C and D clusters coming online soon. This additional compute will let us train longer, pursue more ambitious post-training, and iterate faster.
We expect large and rapid improvements in the weeks and months ahead.

The Netherlands brought in a Hamas supporter from Gaza recently and allowed him to start his studies at Maastricht University.
He’s now watching Hamas videos with other students. He gives a thumbs up and says “this is me” when the October 7th Massacre is mentioned.
While bringing Hamas supporters over, the Netherlands recently banned the import of goods from Judea and Samaria. People bringing in such goods now risk 6 years in prison.

I failed again.
This launch flopped → 0 sales.
Let's breakdown the numbers and find the lesson.
> 43k followers on X
> 3k views on this post + 12k views on another = 15k views on X.
> 3k emails sent to users who bought/use previous dev tools of mine.
= 18k eyeballs
= 278 website visits
= 0 pre-orders
A good launch for me would be 5-10 pre-orders.
Normally I would not care about X traffic failing to convert because launching on X is a lottery, but when email fails as well that is a bad sign.
Bad product idea?
Bad timing?
Maybe.
The lesson here:
This is how 95% of launches go.
Most of what I launch fails.
Only 4 products have made money in 15 years of launching.
This is why you should not fall in love with ideas until you have paying customers.
Don't launch products, launch experiments.
Test the market.
If you don't get early signal, move on to the next thing quickly.
I'm sharing this because it's completely normal and happens to everyone.
Do I feel like a failure because I put something out in public and it failed?
No.
The plot twist is I made a tool to make an explainer video for this product and already got my first paying customer for it by accident.
That opportunity wouldn't have happened if I didn't try this experiment first.
Keep shipping.

SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models.
For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon.
We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities
SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.
The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.
Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

in 2036, 2026 will seem almost unfair. the tools were free, the distribution was global, and the barriers kept disappearing.
All you had to do was show up.
