“The day we launched text-to-CAD in December of last year, we had 13,000 CAD files generated the first day of launching the platform.”

“So historically we've raised only about six million in private venture capital.”

“It's a very, again, labor-driven, very slow process that ends up compounding, you know, the number of times or number of parts you have interfacing squared. That's the number of interfaces you have. That's the number of engineers you have having kind of cross …”

“Right now we're doing a push for what we call version one point O of both of those products. Those will actually merge together that rather than generating text to CAD and having a part, you can now do that in the modeling app and then make downstream changes.”

“We're starting to build out our first local data center. And for our own GPUs, both for the geometric rendering side and the ML training side, we use those on both sides of the stack there.”

“Two of the angels in us are two of Jess's previous coworkers, which is Tom Preston Werner, the original GitHub founder, CEO, and then Nat Friedman, who took over the CEO for Tom after that.”

“The people who we tend to see the most adoption from are people that see software development and hardware development side by side.”

“And the reason we started open sourcing those tools is one that those tools still drive traffic through our API. That's where we monetize a majority of our incoming traffic and is that they still create traffic on top of us.”

“If it's text straight to the CNC machine, then that will be a capability that will come out in the next year, year and a half from us as a company is you can have your text prompt, send something to a CNC machine because you have that toolpath generated in pro…”

“So our view was we would start with this geometry engine. That's the world's first GPU optimized cloud-based API accessible CAD engine. We built that from scratch. So that's CUDA, which is kind of GPU level machine language CUDA level implementation of those c…”
