In Venezuela, when something breaks, you don’t just replace it—you figure out how to fix it with whatever you have. That’s the mindset Julio Viera (CEO of kluster.ai) grew up with, one that led him to discover programming in a school detention hall, code by hand in a notebook, and eventually build a company making AI more accessible to the world.

As AI models like DeepSeek and ChatGPT dominate the conversation—sparking both excitement and skepticism—Julio offers a grounded perspective on what true accessibility in AI should look like and how his team is working to bridge the gap between cutting-edge models and real-world impact.
