good luck to p26! <3

today is yc demo day. just about a year ago, @gpuemi and i stepped onto that stage and presented wafer (f.k.a. herdora). what felt like the end of a chaotic batch turned out to be the beginning of everything that mattered. for everyone presenting today: enjoy the moment, celebrate how far you've come, and take the photos. wishing u the best, p26♥️

they’re not jobs if they’re not valued. they’re not valued if there aren’t customers out there willing to pay them for their great work. needing the government to “create” a job is tantamount to welfare and that level of welfare resolves these individuals to a dependency on the government and lack of economic mobility. and chains our people, collectively, to a more indentured future. you may be well intentioned but you have, and always will, fail to see the destitute folly of government as a job creation engine. i have tried to engage you on this topic, in good faith, with empiricism and reasoning, but you have only dodged my points and pivoted to some populist refrain about the importance of taxation and the evils of productivity-driven success. i can only assume you’re dodging these truths because you and the rest of the politburo leadership have deemed the conversation unsafe speech and put your oligopoly at risk. let’s leave it at that then. perhaps if your ways get their day, we can all bask in the glories of the dark ages ahead.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

wafer recently partnered with @digitalocean to 10X THEIR INFERENCE ON AMD. read below to hear about how we wrote custom kernels, trained a spec decode model, and more to achieve PEAK performance! 🧇

FAANG? naaaaah it's WANGO

wafer is now available on respan gateway. teams can now discover and build with wafer directly through @RespanAI. we serve glm 5.1, kimi k2.6, and qwen3.5-397b with what we believe is the best speed-to-price ratio on the market. excited to make wafer more accessible to teams building leading ai products. learn more: respan.ai/ai-gateway

excited to launch eu-only endpoints with zero data retention in collaboration with orq.ai, the sovereign ai platform. teams in europe want frontier open weight models while staying gdpr compliant. before anyone asks about benchmarks, they ask where the model actually runs and what happens to their data afterward. built with the wonderful orq.ai team <3 pass.wafer.ai

this weekend only: every serverless credit purchase is doubled through sunday 11:59 pm. add $20 → get $40 to spend add $100 → get $200 to spend use the bonus credits to try glm 5.1 - delivered at 150-250 tok/s, among the fastest speeds available, while remaining 30% cheaper than the next closest competitor. ends sunday at 11:59 pm: app.wafer.ai

Excited to announce Slashy The first email client that works for you. The real cost of email isn't the time. It's the mental load of constantly checking it, just in case something needs you. Slashy kills that. You never need to open your inbox unless Slashy tells you. Try it out at slashy.com

New: A group of AI researchers from Google DeepMind, Apple, MSL, and OpenAI are launching a new startup called Trajectory to build a continual learning platform for companies. They've raised a $15M seed round from Sarah Guo's Conviction, Jeff Dean, Fei-Fei Li, and others.

Can't we do better? First short film from @fiftyyears.

That's wafer.ai if you want to try it.

yes, garry tan uses wafer 🪩

This is a killer stack I just started using Wafer to serve my qwen3.6-27b custom fine tuned llm and it's excellent

🎉 Excited to welcome @wafer_ai to Infron as a provider. Wafer does what used to take a team of world-class performance engineers automatically. Their AI agents optimize GPU inference across any hardware, finding the configurations that matter. Infron is a unified AI gateway: 400 models, 100 providers, one API key, zero markup. ⚡Cheap intelligence is the most essential technology for the future. Wafer and Infron are making that real. Wafer-optimized Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is now available on Infron: 🔗 infron.ai/models/qwen/qwen3.… #AIInfrastructure #AIGateway #LLMOps #Infron #Wafer

holy fuck god bless dwarkesh

we recently optimized qwen3.5-397b-a17b to be the fastest deployment publicly hosted. and the crazy thing: we did it by writing CUSTOM KERNELS for AMD MI355x. 🍿 see our post below outlining how we optimized kernels to achieve SOTA performance.

You have to read this one. We just published a recap into how @wafer_ai pushed @AMD inference performance to a level that’s getting the entire ecosystem’s attention and the results are kind of wild. What makes this story interesting isn’t just the performance itself. It’s how they achieved it: systems-level optimization, smart inference tuning, and a belief that AMD can compete at the very highest tier. Proud this work was powered on TensorWave’s AMD-native cloud infrastructure and early #MI355X deployments. tensorwave.com/blog/wafer-re…
