Cato Digital

Over the past two months I built a side project that I was strongly considering turning into a business. It is essentially a ChatGPT clone with a couple of twists like being able to create bot profiles, talk to multiple LLM models, talk to multiple bots in a conversation, allowing bots to talk to each other as well as some basic RAG functionality. Thanks to the support of Cato Digital I was able to build it out this far. Thanks to the help of Jake Wood , Alex Shroyer, Simon Allen and others at Cato I was able to make great progress. I'm taking a break from it so I'll be taking it down later today. If you've already seen me posting about it but you haven't had a chance to try it, make sure you do it today. chat.boltbrain.ca This effort was also directly borne out of the CoRecursive Slack group. Many thanks to Adam Gordon Bell and the rest of the incredibly supportive crowd there.

"It was only logical I deployed Taubyte on Cato Digital — Live Long and Prosper 🖖" Samy Fodil hits the nail on the head here: cloud costs are out of control, but there’s a way forward. By combining Cato Digital’s low-cost, low-carbon bare-metal servers with Taubyte’s innovative open-source platform, the power and affordability of bare metal are within reach, even for those without massive engineering teams. If you're tired of unpredictable bills and want to explore an alternative that’s scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective, this is worth a read. The step-by-step guide Samy provides makes it clear just how accessible this approach is. If you hadn't guessed - both Samy and I are Star Trek fans "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" https://lnkd.in/eBJUm-YD

Exciting news! We have expanded our #baremetal offering to include dedicated NVIDIA DGX servers with up to 16 V100 GPUs with 512GB of combined GPU memory at up to 70% lower costs than 3-year cloud pricing! Perfect for running Inference Engines, Generative AI (image/video), simultaneous ChatGPT sessions, and continuously training Small Language Models (SLMs). Control your data, your costs and your carbon through Cato's bare metal platform. 🌿 https://cato.ai #technology #innovation #sustainability #future #machinelearning #slm #enterprise #cloud #smalllanguagemodels #chatGPT #llm #inference #generativeAI | Dean Nelson | Yuval Bachar | ECL | Jesse Fulton | Valentin G. | Karimulla Shaikh | Simon Allen | Robert Dugdale | Amber Caramella | Peter Gross, PE | Dave Johnson | iMasons Climate Accord

Cato Digital will be at the OCP Regional Summit next month and joining the panel - Boosting Innovation: The Role of Startups and VC in the OCP Ecosystem Today, the data center industry is at a pivotal moment. The market calls for solving emerging industry challenges to support the increasing demands for compute loads (eg. AI and HPC) and to meet the requirements of sustainability regulations. A way to boost innovation and to come up with new solutions and opportunities is through open collaboration between startups, venture capital (VC) and industry. For this panel, we invited four guest speakers from fast-growing startups and a European private equity firm to talk about the role of entrepreneurship, startups and VC in the OCP Ecosystem. The panel discussion will cover data center innovation and growth opportunities (eg. data center cost optimization, power and cooling, sustainable solutions and heat-reuse) as well as some of the industry challenges that startups have to solve for. Among those challenges are the rapidly changing markets and environmental regulations, the supply chain disruptions, customer demands for rapid deployment of new technologies and finally, the search for funding and investment opportunities.
