The Tenstorrent ISA is documented btw https://github.com/tenstorrent/tt-isa-documentation, I wonder if one could do the verification end-to-end with the hardware.
Also I guess this is the final nail in the coffin of Tensorflow.
Since HW specifics live mostly in the kernel layer (Pallas or CUDA), I imagine the Jax vs PyTorch question is more of a style preference now?
There will be an abundance of shovels. Nebius already crashed by almost half from its hype peak.
either AI achieves hyper-efficiency and triggers systematic economic demand destruction due to unemployment, or it underperforms and sparks a massive tech-sector asset bubble burst
If AI is as good as valuations - it crashes. If AI isn’t as good, it crashes. all eggs in one basket economy.
Every future leads to a massive financial shitstorm
AI is priced in as a technology to end all markets. The last bull market you will ever see.
It’s a miracle markets didn’t notice this “damned if you succeed damned if you don’t” type of inevitable checkmate

Is a pretty successful open source NVR that used corals when it launched (and many people still use them with it)

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45848676 :
> How does Cerebras WSE-3 with 44GB of 'L2' on-chip SRAM compare to Google's TPUs, Tesla's TPUs, NorthPole, Groq LPU, Tenstorrent's, and AMD's NPU designs?
There are TPUs made out of silicon carbide with standard fab.
There is in-flight tensor processing with photons, but that's not quite a TPU.
Is this somehow Google's answer to today's best DeepSeek open-sourcing inferencing engine?
