There is a big risk in etching a model into silicon like this. We are still evolving what small models look like and improving their performance. When do you decide to etch one into silicon knowing that right now an improved one can be 3 months away.

If things like this get traction, will we need all the datacenters?

Core rope memory is back baby!

Enjoying the Ian Cutress / TechTechPotato video on Taalas. Some ok good technical details on the tech, and some good insider baseball, whose who stuff. (What a treasure having tech discussions like this about.) https://youtu.be/3MKRjt59hh4

Congrats to the Taalas gang.

so in the future I can buy KIMI, GLM or whatever model that get "soldered" directly into GPU ????

so instead of RTX xx70 series, I can buy xxTA that have kimi integrated ??? is that right ??

I feel like NAND process tech could become useful at solving some of these problems. A GPU where you can update the weights a few thousand times may be sufficient.

A massive L for Canada
