A Conversation with Ziarul Financiar

A behind-the-scenes recap of my Ziarul Financiar interview on building Romania’s first “de-/centralized” AI backbone—ShareAI.

1 From Side-Module to Spotlight

ShareAI started life as a internal module inside HeyDo—a nights-and-weekends hack to get cheaper AI for our Business Command Centers (One day I’ll unpack that rabbit hole… no promises.)

Fast-forward eighteen months and 300 000+ tasks later, ZF’s studio lights hit my retinas and the same question I now hear weekly landed:

“When can we plug in?”

2 Why It Matters

Cheaper inference. No hyperscaler mark-ups, just watts you already pay for.
Money back to the community. Contributors earn, builders save—the value loop stays local.
Reuse gets re-defined. Idle silicon becomes passive revenue; sustainability meets incentives.
