Shadeform (YC S23)

With Shadeform, you can launch GPU instances from any cloud in just a few clicks. Want an A100 instance from Lambda? You got it. Want to schedule a Hyperstack H100 instance for next week? Go for it. Want 8 of them in a cluster from Denvr Dataworks? Not a problem. Any cloud, any instance, and at no extra cost. Visit our website to learn more.

The founding idea for Shadeform (YC S23) is manage GPUs anywhere using the same UI and API. I was just looking through our recently launched instances today and noticed that one customer is simultaneously running 3 L40S GPU across 3 cloud providers to achieve a distributed geographic foot print in Texas, North Carolina, and Paris via Crusoe, Boost Run, and Scaleway! Since most neoclouds are only situated in a few regions, geographic distribution can only be achieved through multi-cloud. Shadeform makes that easy.

?? What if AI had the power to ‘see’ beneath the Earth's surface? ??? This question has driven me for years now. What if we could apply the power of?SciML?to tackle this challenge? Today, I’m beyond excited to share that we at S2 Labs, alongside my incredible partners at?EmPact Artificial Intelligence, Texas Department of Transportation, Drone Geoscience, LLC, Kraken Robotics, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Shadeform (YC S23), have successfully demonstrated a groundbreaking (pun intended!) non-invasive technology—one that could transform the way we explore the unseen world below us.? Subsurface imaging is essential for?construction, energy, and environmental monitoring, yet traditional methods have limitations in resolution, depth, and cost.?Our latest research demonstrates the?power of deep-learning-based 3D inversion?of magnetic data to enhance subsurface imaging—both onshore and offshore. ???Key Highlights:? ? Used?AI-driven inversion?to map buried utilities before construction at Texas A&M’s?Rellis?Campus? ? Located?oil well conductors buried under 35-45m of sediment?in the Gulf of Mexico/America, post-Hurricane Ivan? ? Achieved?unprecedented accuracy (17 cm precision) compared to excavation data ???Why does this matter??AI-based geophysical techniques are scalable, cost-effective, and adaptable across diverse environments. I’m truly excited to see how this can reduce carbon footprint by slashing construction costs and delays, preventing oil and gas leaks, and minimizing environmental disruption through smarter, data-driven decision-making.? ? A heartfelt congratulations to my fellow authors:?Souvik Mukherjee, Jacques Guigne, Gary Young, Harshit Shukla, Kevin Kennelley, Dillon Hoffman, Ron Bell, Bill Barkhouse! I would also like to thank my cloud partners Vidyasagar Ananthan, Ph.D., Xuele (Ryan) Qi, Srinivas Tadepalli, Ph.D., MBA, Ed Goode and Ronald Ding. ???Read the full study here:? https://lnkd.in/ejUN6Hvj ???#Geophysics #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #Energy #Infrastructure #AIinGeoscience? ?

Most of us saw the NVIDIA #GTC keynote, but not everyone was lucky enough to see the insane new tools being shown off on the show floor. There's some serious progress being made by startups you've probably never heard of. I thought I'd take some time to highlight some of the coolest things I saw while I was there. nTop is building a generative engineering design tool that uses complex physics simulation to find the most optimal design for things like thermal management and weight reduction. Sana is building a platform that connects to virtually every data source across your organization, and lets you easily build agents on top of that data to automate processes like updating your Salesforce opportunities. hum.ai is training foundational AI models with petabytes of satellite data to better understand how to solve problems like carbon dioxide removal and nature conservation. DMKTZ Inc is building a simulation based fashion design tool that lets companies experiment with different physically accurate fabrics and designs before they put something out in the real world. Last but definitely not least, Modular is building MAX, a more cost efficient CUDA alternative that can be used across both NVIDIA and AMD hardware. So many more I could mention, but this post is getting long. Side note, Shadeform (YC S23) is giving out compute credits to AI startups! Feel free to DM me if you want to test drive some GPUs at amazing prices from the more than 20 cloud providers on our marketplace. See you next year, #GTC!

At last year’s #gtc, we were virtually unknown. This year, we’ve had nonstop, back to back meetings with partners, customers, and friends. What a year. Excited for next year!

NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs will be offered on-demand in April, courtesy of the incredibly talented team at WhiteFiber.

I just begrudgingly upgraded from a free plan to a paid plan for one of our SaaS tools after 2 years of usage. Is this what they mean by “growing pains”? Speaking of growing, Shadeform (YC S23) is hiring for senior+ engineers. Please reach out if interested!

If you're going to NVIDIA GTC, you've probably gotten multiple pings from cloud providers requesting a meeting (we at Shadeform (YC S23) are guilty of this too).. While these meetings are great and helpful, its becoming increasingly hard to determine where you should land your infra with the sprawl of neocloud options these days. If you need a trusted partner to help you navigate all of your cloud options, we can help you land in the right spot and give you the best options and prices in the industry.
