Development Strategy and Future Funding
CEO and co-founder Max Tesla explained that the investment decision followed a review of the project repository and public documentation. He noted that the emphasis on open-source architecture justified the funding round. Regarding technical requirements, Tesla added that replicating Blask’s platform would require two state-of-the-art models, specifically DeepSeek, alongside extended training periods to align large language models with industry naming conventions such as distinguishing Vulkan Million from Casino Vulkan.Blask may organize an additional funding round if initial development milestones are met. Preliminary plans include increasing the allocation by several more beers. The company currently operates as an international analytics service for the iGaming sector and is expanding its activities into venture capital.
