100,000 H100s will probably be equivalent compute to 30,000 B100s will probably be equivalent compute to 10,000 X100s in a year..

One of the little elements in Andy Weir’s excellent Hail Mary that I liked was the notion that the “speed of thought” of different aliens might be related to the gravity of their planets, because learning to interact with ballistic trajectories is a critical survival skill.

Trekkers, get ready! To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Star Trek III: The Search For Spock is returning to the big screen in 4K from 14 June.

So many 'HACKS' for Octane Render that many people don't know of that can help tremendously with certain looks and effects. One of them being the 'falloff node'. Sure we all know what it can do (maybe not all of us) but you can also use it to LIGHT your metallics. Lighting metals

Cool hanging with beeple in LA last night and get an early preview of this work in process which can be altered & updated via iPhone. Excited to see the future of this new body of work.

This weeks tutorial is online:

There is still some more Lights goodness in there though 😇

As always I hope you enjoy! A great week ahead to all of you 🙌

Will be some interesting announcements 👀

Looking forward to being in Singapore to ramp actually open AI 🚀 🇸🇬

Trailblazing #RenderNetwork user Josh Pierce recaps experience at #digitalartdeathmatch :

Had a blast at beeple studios!
Loved reconnecting with friends & making new ones.

Theme = the metaverse!

I spoke on the panel, thanks to The Render Network and OTOY.

Grateful to share

#OctaneX was featured in today’s Apple keynote!

Apple users can augment the massive increase in rendering power on the M4 with access to near unlimited high performance decentralized GPU compute power on The Render Network using Octane X.

Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.

honored to be featured in today’s Apple keynote! #OctaneX is easily 2x faster on M4 - just by tapping into the RT HW cores. NPU perf is fantastic - will be leveraging that for our real time LightStage models! #RENDER
