Verne Robotics trains 3x larger model using Together AI cluster

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Verne Robotics has successfully trained a significantly larger foundation model using the Y Combinator cluster powered by Together AI. This approach allowed Verne Robotics to avoid lengthy and costly contracts with major cloud providers, enabling them to train a model three times the size on nearly 100 times more data. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a more flexible and potentially cost-effective path for training large foundation models, bypassing traditional cloud vendor lock-in.

    Compute has always been core to the @VerneRobotics story. Getting there meant negotiating long, expensive contracts with big neoclouds, and projecting compute needs years into the future. Verne wasn't ready for that. Then came the @ycombinator cluster, built on Together AI. htt…
