Do you think @sama has landing pages with progress ready to go, just to announce them on the day Google releases something impressive?- We believe that to compete at the frontier, you have to own the full stack: from dirt to intelligence. Today we’re announcing two major unlocks for our mission to AGI: 1. We're partnering with @CoreWeave and have 40,000+ NVIDIA GB300s secured. First capacity comes online
