Moonglow (YC S24) connects local Jupyter notebooks to remote compute providers. Most modern ML research starts in Jupyter notebooks, which are great for exploration. But when it’s time to scale up, they hit a wall. The infrastructure just isn’t there to easily connect notebooks to serious GPU power. This means that ML researchers spend valuable time converting their notebooks into scripts, a time-consuming and slow process. Then they SSH to a remote machine and copy their environment and all that data over. Or, they use hacky workarounds like remote Jupyter servers, which are error-prone, or cloud compute notebook providers, like Google Colab, which only provide a limited GPU selection. Founded by Leila C. and Trevor Chow, Moonglow lets researchers use the cloud GPUs of their choice, right from their notebook editor. With just a click of a button, you can move a Jupyter notebook from a CPU to an H100 in less than a minute. By automating the DevOps, Moonglow lets researchers focus on what matters: the ML problems themselves. Try it out at https://moonglow.ai. Congrats on the launch, Leila and Trevor! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gx26WWbM

Perceptive Technologies (YC W20) has raised $30 million in funding to transform dental surgery through advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, and 3D volumetric imaging. Today, the company completed the world’s first fully automated dental procedure on a human using its advanced robotic dentistry system. This milestone marks a significant leap forward, setting a new standard of care in dentistry. Perceptive’s dental robotics system combines AI-driven 3D imaging with a robotic arm to perform dental procedures, starting with restorative dentistry, much faster and more precisely than traditional methods. It can complete tasks like crown placements in just 15 minutes, compared to the usual two office visits of at least one hour each. Dr. Chris Ciriello, CEO and Founder of Perceptive, highlights the significance of this breakthrough, noting that it boosts precision and efficiency while making dental care more accessible. The system uses 3D scans for accurate diagnostics and treatment planning, starting with a handheld intraoral scanner that captures detailed images of the tooth and mouth. These images help patients understand their dental conditions better. Perceptive’s AI algorithms then analyze this data to plan and execute procedures with high precision, allowing dentists to treat more patients efficiently and with fewer errors. Congrats to the team on the new milestone! https://lnkd.in/eCJeUNk7
