Open source can make healthcare AI more trustworthy, adaptable, and affordable - its already giving clinicians time back, improving experiences, and improving patient outcomes. This is part of how we save time, money, and lives. π«‘ @JensenHuang https://t.co/yjBJPZlTgo

Enjoyed this conversation with @ScribbleVC. A little bit of medicine. A little bit of music. A little bit of skateboarding. Mostly, a conversation about building. Thanks for having me. https://t.co/rytYq2Dn57

The best thing happening in healthcare AI right now is how much the industry is choosing to build together. Proud to co-host our first @AbridgeHQ hackathon with @AnthropicAI , @lightspeedvp , and @cerebral_valley . This is what positive-sum looks like. https://t.co/OTgwWxEAqo
