<p>I did write small programs myself, but mostly with Claude Code. It was very pleasant to work in it with Claude Code. Implemented a shell and 40 of coreutils. Did not really get very far with proving properties of them, but had working programs. Reading Lean4 is pretty nice. Nicer to read than OCaml, almost as nice as Haskell.</p>

<p>>But when people think of decentralized training, they don’t first think of gigantic datacenters, owned by the same company, training models across large distances. Instead, they imagine thousands of small datacenters, or individual consumers, pooling their spare compute over the internet to orchestrate a training run larger than any single actor could manage alone.
Many companies are pursuing this vision: Pluralis Research, Prime Intellect and Nous Research have already successfully decentrally trained models at scale. But in practice, training decentrally over the internet has lagged far behind more centralized training. Even their largest models (Pluralis’ 8B Protocol Model, Prime Intellect’s INTELLECT-1, and Nous’ Consilience 40B) have been trained with 1,000x less compute than today’s frontier models (such as xAI’s Grok 4).

<p>Yes, and then you need to have the datacenter. Do you get a permit? How long does it take to build it?</p>
