A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This would be great if you could have a machine that would allow you to swap chips… and then they only charge < 50 USD for each chip.
Would be great, but feels unlikely, most of the gains they're making rely on the lack of versatility.
Can't be that cheap unfortunately if they maxed out the die area. Though it is an older node so maybe not as expensive as flagship GPU chips and shit
Go landfills!
That’s all technology though, sadly.
This one feels shorter-lived than the average chip, tho.
With the hardwiring and all.
The thing that differentiates ChatGPT and Claude is likely more the RAG pipeline that backs them and feeds them context. The models really aren't getting better, we're just getting better at using them to break tasks down into units so small AI can figure it out. I'd bet a GPT 5 model or a Claude Opus 4.6 model would last 5, maybe 10 years before you really start to notice its capabilities are falling behind. I'll bet you could use GPT 4o for 5-10 years and it would be fine.
But if they could make it so the chip is the only thing that is obsolete, That could be recycled pretty easily, or resold.
Then it would stop being 73 times faster than NVIDIA.
That doesn’t make sense.
If you add levels of indirection, extra transistors and such, it would be surprising to manage to maintain the same level of performance, especially since this design seems to rely on hardwiring to achieve its speed...
Pretty sure the advantage is the AI directly on the chip.
Now it's your proposal's turn not to make any sense. This is an article about a chip with a hardwired model being super fast.
Of course the hardwiring is inflexible, and much, much faster.
I just think you want to argue
