In other words, CBDCs. > “We trained a foundation model on all of the Stripe historical payment data,” Collison explains. This model is not an off-the-shelf integration with the likes of OpenAI or Anthropic, but Stripe’s own, leveraging open-source infrastructure but fully trained in-house.

Also, nostr DMs are so completely broken.
