Jeff Dean: The 1% Rule for Building in AI · Y Combinator
- ▶ 0:24 Diana Hu So, um, you built MapReduce, Bigtable, TensorFlow, the TPU, Gemini, we could spend a whole hour on all the things you've done.
- ▶ 6:40 Diana Hu And instead, you basically built a custom ship, and that was the origin story of the TPU. 7 times in the scene
- ▶ 40:13 Jeff Dean Yeah, I mean, I think, well, TPUs is a good example, like being able to specialize hardware for a very niche problem domain before that problem domain seemed as important as it is today, is one thought experiment.
- ▶ 55:07 Diana Hu Now, one last thing, I'm pretty sure someone in this room or multiple people will eventually build something as consequential as you've done with MapReduce, TPU, distillation, et cetera, et cetera.
Anthropic Head of Pretraining on Scaling Laws, Compute, and the Future of AI · Y Combinator
- ▶ 25:17 Ankit Gupta Or if you guys are using TPU versus GPU, are these, you know, Google TPU versus NVIDIA GPU, do you actually have to think as an engineer differently about what it means to train on these two? 3 times in the scene
