AI is concentrating, in a few countries, a few companies, a few chips. Open-source AI is the only real check on that. And it only works if the infrastructure to run it actually exists. Today, we're announcing our Series A, $20 M, to make this a reality.

It starts “AI is concentrating, in a few countries, a few companies, a few chips”. It carries a 1:17 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory. The copy runs 48 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
How to announce a funding round covers this: the round is the news and the post has to turn it into customers and hires. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
Developer marketing strategy is the guide for it: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. This launch sits in the Developer Tool and Chips and AI Infra directories.
