Salad

Generative AI companies are massively overpaying for cloud. The cure? Thousands of consumer PCs lying unused most of the day. At Salad, that's exactly what we've built - SaladCloud is a distributed cloud with 10k+ consumer GPUs at the lowest prices in the market. Today, AI/ML companies serving inference at scale are: - Facing long wait times for GPUs - Choosing expensive AI-focused GPUs to serve inference at scale - Putting growth & profitability at risk with high cloud bills Listen to our CEO, Bob Miles 🥗 introduce SaladCloud and explain how AI/ML companies can finally stop overspending for GPUs.

🪧Salad's first billboard is live in San Fran - and you can win $500 in cloud credits with it (equivalent of ~$2500 in credits on a Big 3 cloud). Here's how: - If you live in SF or are attending The AI Conference, snap a picture of/with the billboard (location below) and tag Salad. - If you don't live in SF or cannot go to the location, write a LinkedIn post about monopolies in cloud computing. Use the hashtag #nomorecloudmonopoly That's it. One lucky winner will get $500 in SaladCloud credits. Billboard location: Right across from Fisherman's Wharf at the intersection of Mason St & Jefferson St, a 15 minute walk from the venue for the AI Conference. P.S. Yes. That's not an actual picture of the billboard.

Salad team will be at the The AI Conference starting today. Want to chat about your GPU needs, bulk pricing or technical questions about Salad? Book a time here: https://lnkd.in/eMB5pmZN

Tutorial: How to deploy Flux on SaladCloud with ComfyUI Link: https://lnkd.in/edNUmjnR Images created with Freepik's Flux Realism model. Black Forest Labs has really changed the AI image generation landscape with this new model.

🔥 Hot take: Is the role of the 'data scientist' going the way of the dodo bird? 🦤 Our CTO, Daniel Marcous, thinks so, and he's got the insights to back it up: in his conversation with Salad's Prashanth S Shankara 🥗 , Daniel dives deep into how AI is not just revolutionizing taxes but also shaking up the entire tech landscape. He predicts that the role of 'data scientist' as we know it is gradually fading, with engineers taking over more and more responsibilities in the AI space. Daniel also shares the unique challenges of building tax software. He explains: “Taxes need to be 100% accurate. You can't make a mistake one every 100 users. Just not doable. So there's tons of guardrails that we've put basically everywhere so it will be accurate.” At april, we're a proud band of nerds making the American tax experience smarter and more proactive. “We don't only meet you once a year in April when you need to file your taxes where it's far too late to actually do something impactful, but we accompany you throughout the year in order to save you the big bucks and actually optimize your taxes.” Curious to learn more? 🤔 Dive into the full conversation and discover how we're turning tax season from a yearly dread into a seamless, year-round advantage. 🎧 Listen at the links in the comments below. #ainews #datascientist #aijobs

New podcast episode: Michelle Inaba talks about AI translation Guest star: Synthesia's AI avatar as the interviewer (Link in comments) Some interesting quotes: - "If AI makes a mistake in the translation, that could cause to the demonetization of your video because of a word or a phrase you see". - "When you compare the upfront expenses that you will have with an AI solution or outsourcing to an external partner for human help, there is this upfront costs. But in the long term, I think it's worth because you get a much bigger audience reach" - "While AI is efficient and cost-effective, human involvement is essential for tasks that require nuance and accuracy" Michelle also gives recommendations of AI translation tools including Papercup, Dubbing AI & Google Cloud Translation. #podcast #ai #startup
