  Truth! “To be totally honest with you, for me, ignorance was an advantage,” Vishra said. “I don't know that, if I'd understood how difficult it was going to be to do what they did, I would have had the guts to invest.” 😂😂 https://www.newyorker.com/...

  #AI for chip design is here, even for the world's largest computer chip! In a recent interview with Matthew Hutson from @NewYorker Synopsys Chairman and co-CEO Aart de Geus explains how AI software enables @CerebrasSystems' mega-chip design to “go bigger.” https://snps.social/...…

  People in A.I. circles speak of the singularity—a point at which technology will begin improving itself at a rate beyond human control. With the development of the world's largest computer chip, is it safe to say that we are living in that moment? https://nyer.cm/oP3Ee6q

  “Companies have tried to build mega-chips in the past and failed; Cerebras's plan amounted to a bet that surmounting the engineering challenges would be possible, and worth it.” @TheNewYorker's deep dive on the history & innovation of Cerebras: https://www.newyorker.com/...

  'The computer looks like what you'd get if you bought a dehumidifier at the moma store; in a rack in a data center, it takes up the same space as fifteen of the pizza-box-size machines powered by G.P.U.s.' https://www.newyorker.com/...

  In the evolution of computers, the big brains have arrived. The new computer chips specialized for artificial intelligence are as large as a table. They are designed in Silicon Valley, and manufactured by TSMC. ⁦@GuodongNian⁩ ⁦@SammyHassan_⁩ https://www.newyorker.com/...

  A typical large computer chip might draw 350 watts of power, but Cerebras's giant chip draws 15 kilowatts—enough to run a small house. “Nobody ever delivered that much power to a chip,” the company's co-founder said. https://nyer.cm/cSMesmv
