also, why be in stealth for such an obvious product? There are dozens of recently launched well funded competitors in addition to all the incumbents that have added similar features.

- Havoc 2y agoYep. Continue.dev with ollama. Works but the suggests tend to be short. Like a smart auto complete Needs a gpu though not a big vram one given that using smaller models for this is better due to speed
- btzs 2y agoTabby.ml also works well

- choppaface 2y agoFor LLM stuff, one upside to “stealth” is you might obfuscate your GPU demand. Now that the GPU market knows there’s another player with over $200m to burn, the market is going to want to take every last penny of that funding.
- hwinh 2y agoGood point
- zaphirplane 2y agoWho cares what a startup is doing, they want to rent cloud GPU or buy GPU it’s volume discounts They aren’t getting a better or worse deal because they are in the autocomplete business or the avocado business
- zaphar 2y agoThat isn't how markets work, like at all. Will another buyer with money to spend help drive the price up? Maybe, Maybe not. It depends on where that buyer spends their money and whether the supply forces that buyer to compete against other buyers for the same gpu. Supply and Demand curves drive the price.

- vasco 2y agoIf you're truly doing difficult things there's no need for stealth, you just need to protect the trade secrets and not issue patents. That's what stealth should mean. If stealth just means you haven't advertised and you asked your employees to not update linkedin, that's just you and your investors having an ego and pretending that you're doing cool stuff because you want to say the word "stealth". Like paying more for something that says "tactical" even without any purpose.
