who said, "opinionated", "outspoken" and "balanced" can't all be true at the same time? Brovo Yann LeCun!

Congrats to Cerebras on the impressive results! How SRAM-only ASICs like it stack up against GPUs? Spoiler: GPUs still rock for throughput, custom models, large models and prompts (common "prod" things). SRAM ASICs shine for pure generation. Long 🧵 x.com/CerebrasSystem…

Expecting this and / or Groq Inc to make our Chat-based Shopping Search experience much, much snappier!

We're living in the golden age of coding/software engineering. In chess there was a similar period where humans + computers was a better combination than humans or computers separately. It lasted around 5y? So enjoy it while it lasts.
