alt Hacker NewsOxide Computer raises $445M (SEC Form D)
Comments
(VP of Eng here) I filled out their sales form last year and never heard from them. We're currently spending $900k/year on AWS, and they didn't even acknowledge my request. crazy stuff.
Just like the last Oxide post, I just have to say how excited I am for their product as a concept. I really hope to see them continue to do well!
Selfishly of course so I can make sure there are more episodes of Oxide and Friends for years to come. Adam annd Bryan's ability to reference thirty year old simpsons episodes is unmatched.
I've seen posts about Oxide for years now, but do they actually ship hardware? I've never seen images, or posts about companies with their new Oxide Thingamajig™
I will implicitly trust anything Jessie Frazelle works on. Rare combination of taste, skill, and passion.
They just raised $200M in February and $100M a year ago.
Wish I could have heard back about my job application there. It looks like a really exciting place to work.
left hand: governance gaps, privacy, owning instead of renting
right hand: nearly every employee of every org buying these things is sending almost everything to LLMs - or using software ULTIMATELY written by, tested by or whatevered by, these LLMs. LLMs that were created by or distilled from anthropic, openai, or google, who see everything SALIENT about what you do, or what ALL of your customers do, even if they are careful about not looking at the specifics of what you do
Preempted the blog post.
Man, they are just sucking up capital. If somebody like Antropic has made them the primary 'CPU' rack, then that's they kind of cash you need.
I mean, you could probably get multiple GIGAbytes of RAM with 445M.
