We got destroyed by bigger players (ElevenLabs, Suno, and more recently Fish) that fundraised and had better in-house models.
It was a headache to run, I wanted to pursue a different market (video/creative), and I pivoted.
My pivot failed and was dead for over a year as I went too far into controllability. One of my changes then got a semblance of PMF and it's doing $4M annualized run rate (but it's not fundable in its current shape).
I ultimately want to build open source cloud infra and open source workflow products - more friendly than Comfy, more free than RunPod.
In any case, I can't run my current work on the GPUs. But I'm close enough to pretraining and fine tuning smaller models that I want to use them for future experiments. Not that I wouldn't do that in the cloud.
