My startup Nūdl is using AI to iterate trillions of pasta shapes for optimum twirlability, semolina coefficient, and hospitaliano. While it is still early days, we project that with our current runway and model capabilities, our pasta may become sentient in time for the 2026 Feast of St. Anthony.

We leveraged crowdsourcing of a private kindergarten school to organically design pasta shapes and used the throw it against the wall method, which was met with smashing approval. We're still optimizing cook time, uniformity, and packaging. And we hope to remain out of the Whole Foods bargain shelves by the seafood counter for at least 3 years to maximize ROI. We will also codesign a sauce that maximizes adhesion with a proprietary formulation that only adheres to our pasta.

Disappointed new pasta innovations aren't open sauce (GPL/BSD/MIT/whatever).

Just kidding but I thought the pun was too good to pass up.
