Moshe Shalev and the Question on the Future Wikipedia Page
From a Bnei Brak yeshiva to Unit 8200 to a real-time AI lab, Moshe Shalev has kept asking what a useful future should look like. At Decart, that question has grown from a hallway conversation into a company building video models and the computing stack beneath them.
