I'm really hoping Jim Keller and Tenstorrent crew drop it even further with GDDR backed AI compute.

We live in a day and age where it seems that all the innovations we see now are new tech that has to do with electronics.

Good to see some good ol hardware breakthroughs in another industry.


I think landing a booster is just as impressive. It's just that nobody's done this before, so it's exciting! Plus it's a lot bigger and part of a fully reusable config which has huge implications for space travel.

Bro... they are NOT lightweight on compute!

I wish they didn’t use swiGLU and preRMSnorm so we could have a better comparison.

Then we would know how much this transformer innovation helps by itself.


I have come to the conclusion that the only thing that really matters at this point in AI is funding right now.

Here's why. The models are all sort of variations on the transformer architecture. But what sets models apart is $$$ worth of hardware to train the bigger model, and $$$ to obtain better training data.

So I don't think it will hurt OpenAI as much as we think. The software is the easy part at this point I think.


haha that was fun!

They are selling "AGI". That is, the dream they will get there first, I think?

Honestly they’ll probably just say “buy a game license”… feels pretty similar prolly no one will notice


As Henry Hazlitt said

The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups
