Love this. Elegant and powerful. Stateful streams are surprisingly difficult to DIY and as everything becomes a stream of tokens this is super useful tool to have in the toolbox.
Hey HN! We built Paperspace (YCW15) and we are super excited to announce Autonomous. We just announced our $15M fundraise to build the future of financial intelligence.
Why do we think now is the time for Autonomous? Millions of people already ask AI about their finances, but there's no Cursor-style "apply" button and it doesn't run continuously. The technology finally exists to deliver institutional wealth management through AI.
Wealth management generates ~$250B/year in advisory revenue, with human intermediaries extracting massive fees without creating proportional value. It feels like a pre-Robinhood brokerage world: entrenched, expensive, structurally misaligned.
We are following the neobank playbook that companies like Mercury and Ramp used in traditional banking: replace brick-and-mortar with elegant digital experiences.
Dillon here (CEO @ Paperspace, YCW15). I want to give a huge thanks to the YC community and all the support over the years. We have always admired DO and couldn't be happier to join forces!
We (Paperspace, YCW15) also give you the ability to run a high-performance workstation in the cloud (and soon on any remote machine!). Check it out https://www.paperspace.com
We (Paperspace YCW15) have something similar at https://ml-showcase.paperspace.com/ where you can launch and run some popular Jupyter notebooks and run for free :)
CEO of Paperspace here. I'm really sorry about this. That is not the experience that we are striving for and FWIW, since leaving beta, Gradient is much more mature at this point (many millions of hours of runtime and lots of developer work). We have been aggressively stabilizing (and building out new features) over the past few years and continue to improve the product every release. My sincerest apologies for your negative experience early on I hope you will give it another try.
Dillon from Paperspace here. If anyone is interested, this is actually part of a longer multi-part series covering GauGAN in-depth. Here's the link to the full series: https://blog.paperspace.com/tag/series-gaugan/
We (https://www.paperspace.com) have full Linux and Windows desktops with web-based streaming and web-based terminal access. Might be what you are looking for :)
