Yesterday marked Mojo🔥's first birthday 🎂, launching last year on May 2, 2023. We launched with just an online Jupyter environment and have since released the SDK locally for macOS and Linux on arm64 and x86, and bought up our inference and serving stack MAX⚡️. Yesterday we released Mojo and MAX 24.3 to mark the occasion, along with the first community contributions, 32 of which made it into the official changelog. We're so excited to go on this journey out in the open with our amazing community, thank you to everyone who has been participating!
