Updated my response to include a link to the transcription. The audio/video is here: [VIDEO] It’s actually important (if you’re not an engineer) to listen to the whole thing, because he drops knowledge all over the place.
Read original comment ↗K8 seems pretty small after he made the fucking Zen architecture (and Tesla AI). Lex has good interviews with Jim[1], he's not just very smart, he is wise. He started Tenstorrent some time ago with Ljubisa Bajic so I'm assuming this fab is related. Here is youtube channel for Tenstorrent[2], and last time I checked it was getting under 100 views per video... Ian also interviewed him[3] some time ago. Long story short if I had money that would be relevant in this context I would invest really hard into Tenstorrent. Investing time to listen to the guy seems to be not worse. 1a. [LINK] 1b. [LINK] 2.

Read original comment ↗I first heard of TensTorrent from Dr. Ian Cutress's YT channel TechTechPotato. [VIDEO] It's a good source for trends in hardware.
