As the world grapples with the growing climate challenge, the need for clean, firm power has become apparent. Between the rising demand for data centers and the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a growing need for energy sources capable of providing abundant and consistent zero-carbon electricity. Coupled with advancements in AI and high performance computing (HPC), #fusion energy has the potential to transform the global energy landscape. A new report from Clean Air Task Force explores how AI and HPC are accelerating fusion energy development in key areas, including materials selection, high-temperature superconductors, inertial fusion energy, tritium breeding, and advanced diagnostics. With real-world examples featuring 16 case studies, the report showcases how AI and HPC are already driving progress in the fusion sector. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eTrHkCzB

Excited to announce Lume (YC W23)'s $4.2M Seed Round led by General Catalyst! We started building Lume because of a deep problem we faced ourselves as engineers - the painstakingly manual work of data mapping. Due to the unique nature of every system, data mapping has largely remained a manual process, and Lume is solving this. Our customers, ranging from enterprises to startups, use Lume to accelerate data mapping from days to minutes, whether it’s ingesting customer data, mapping taxonomies, normalizing API responses to internal schemas, and much more. It's an honor to build this alongside the smartest people I've ever met, Robert Ross, Nebyou Zewde, and Collin Montag. And, we're proud to be partnering with the very best investors... Puneet Kumar and Brad Flora from Y Combinator. Quentin Clark and Max Rimpel from General Catalyst. Vinod Khosla from Khosla Ventures Mike Maples, Jr from Floodgate Nikhita Jaaswal and Fouad Farhat at Soma Capital Sabrina Hahn And all of our angels, including Devvret Rishi Sam Stone Ana Clara Martins Sigalit Perelson Scharfstein John Bautista and more!
