Chapter 43: [Computational Mathematics]
With VaultPay finally live and its services already being rolled out to select members of the public, Tyler knew it was time to kick off the next phase of his plan: creating a GPU.
Not just any GPU—he wanted to build something at least ten times more powerful than Blackwell, the cutting-edge chip that had been scheduled for release the year he died.
That chip represented the peak of public performance standards in his original timeline. But Tyler wasn’t aiming for public benchmarks. He was chasing the impossible.
He had already mapped the sequence out: First, design and build a GPU powerful enough to run hyper-advanced models. Then, construct a custom computer around it that could harness its full potential.
Once that infrastructure was in place, he would create a peak-level AI—one just shy of his end goal.
After that, he’d move on to constructing a supercomputing server specifically tailored to birth and host a true AGI. And once the AGI was operational? The quantum phase would begin. A quantum computer. Maybe even a quantum server and AI if the system allowed it.
But Tyler knew better than anyone that just because it sounded neat on paper didn’t mean it would go smoothly. He needed money. A lot of it. The kind of money most governments would hesitate to allocate, let alone a sixteen-year-old high school student.
Thankfully, Tyler wasn’t most sixteen-year-olds.
It had been three months and one week since VaultX and VaultPrime went live. In that short window, the system had generated a staggering $490 million across all 40 of the LLCs’ trading accounts.
After deducting the funds in the bank account David’s using for the NGO operations, Tyler was left with $441 million in liquid cash—clean, untraceable, and entirely at his disposal.
It was absurd that he was able to make so much in just five months.
