Need GPUs for your project? Here's the pitch I sent Modal for Isometric SF.
What worked:
- start with a prototype that's fun to play with
- estimate what the full version would cost
- point to similar projects that people loved
Link below
Compute shouldn’t be the bottleneck for your next big idea.
We're launching Modal for Builders, a program that provides compute credits to builders working on ambitious AI projects.
Have a demo you’ve been wanting to build? A research question you want to explore? Or another idea that needs compute?
We’d like to hear about it. Apply with your idea and an estimate of the compute you’ll need. Projects may also be featured on Modal’s social channels.
Some projects we’ve backed in the past:
Introducing Isometric SF A pixel-art map of the entire SF Bay Area, over 1,300 square miles, all painted by Klein, a 4B-parameter image-to-image model, on @modal.
Explore the map now!

This was inspired by @_coenen's Isometric NYC and @ktoya_me's Tiny London.
Reflections on making it: justinchavez.com/blog/isomet…
This wouldn't have been possible without a credit grant from Modal. Across about 172 H100-hours, my agents provisioned, ran and shut down GPUs seamlessly from the CLI. Thanks to @ajhinh for setting this up.

new york founders:
we don't live in SF. there aren't thousands of us
there are only a few dozen of us I think
we might not be as smart as SF hackers
but we've got things that make us special
like building software with character, wit and taste.
we make things that are weird, beautiful, and maybe even useful.
nobody is gonna do it for us!
join our hackathon on saturday so we can show that NY > SF

san diego founders:

i think great opportunity to form a community with events and coworking spaces
nobody is gonna do it for us!
we should all be friends or at least acquaintances
comment if interested and tag any SD builders out there?
Organizing this. DM if you are in SF, Cambridge/Boston, Berlin, or Bangalore and want to come through!
The Hacker House Hackathon!
our first multi-location hackathon with exciting prizes and cracked builders; running from July 12-14th!
theme: techno-optimism
vibes: 48 hrs in a hacker house building alongside the most cracked folks you know!

400 people packed the lab on Wednesday for our AI x Hardware Residency Demo Day...
In order, we've compiled a thread of all the participants and their companies. 👇

Packed house today at our AI x Hardware Residency Demo Day.
Thank you to everyone that showed up!
I'll be organizing this! Absolutely floored by the demos the founders have prepared. Come through May 29th.
6 weeks ago, we kicked off our latest residency: AI x Hardware.
Since then, 20 founders have learned the ins and outs of building AI x Hardware.
Next Wednesday, we’re coming together to see what they’ve created and to celebrate their hard work.
Save your spot 👇

Warm vibes only at demo days
first, the setting
you pull up to a big blue building, not sure how to get in...
but sliding doors open, you enter, and are greeted by these two gems @jus10chavez @Ananyas_brain

Honored to be the door greeter for @theresidency’s demo day. Demos were cracked. Safe travels @hardeep_gambhir. Excited to meet the next cohort soon @nick_linck
Introducing the Sf Park Game
I compiled datasets from DataSF and Open Street Map to bring you the most comprehensive, playable map of San Francisco's 250+ parks.
Given a park name, guess on the map where it is and the game will calculate how far your guess was. If you can get an average distance of under 2 miles, that's impressive.
Try it out and discover a new park in SF today!
🔗 sfparkgame.com
The game runs entirely on your browser and your session is automatically saved when you leave the page. I have also opened source the code here: github.com/JustinChavez/sfpa…
Shoutout to @chrisarvinsf whose sf street name game was the inspiration for this
