Then we get into the commercial reality - who's already deployed, how the business model works, and why the data moat gets harder to close with every passing month.\nJared co-invented the core technology at UC Berkeley alongside his co-founder and CTO Ali Mesbah, a tenured professor who left to build SirenOpt. Their customers include Tier-1 manufacturers across turbines, batteries, and semiconductors in North America, Europe, and Asia.\nLearn more about SirenOpt: https://www.sirenopt.com\nVolta Foundation presentation mentioned by Jared:\nhttps://youtu.be/a4aW8uxGMQk?si=MGQJI7hNhzzf5pfH\nThe OPTIM Update covers real-world AI, automation, robotics, and AI Infrastructure for founders, investors, and operators.\nSubscribe: https://www.optim.vc","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/MD1uw3xsUV8NIC9WNTbAWnAxAqctNuVEgSaMzKwMDRQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYTFk/YTA0N2ZmOThmMmZl/ZGVjMjA3NWMwZDUw/YmRlMS5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
