“It is actually possible to do both in the same chip. You, it's kind of an obvious thing. You say you take the HPM, you take the SRAM, put them together in the same chip, you put the weights in SRAM, and you put the all of the inference data in HPM. That is what we are doing, in fact and I think that actually hits a really nice sweet spot where you can get a little latency and also be very cheap.”

Pope: Groq and Cerebras are uncompetitive on dollars per token
“And then there's the Grok and Cerebris that are much better at latency because they've got this the SRAM, weights are in SRAM very low latency. The problem is, and the challenge when you go to a Grok or a Cerebris system is that the throughput you get there, i…”
Pope: Google completely stopped publishing its AI research around 2022
“In twenty-twenty-two was about the time when just Google completely stopped publishing its research. And so all the good papers are from before that as a result.”
Pope: Model parameter counts will grow much faster than context lengths
“Really tied into this context thing, I think the context size will stay ballpark the same way it is, maybe a few times larger. But the parameter count will go up. Like, parameter count should grow much, much faster than context length, actually, just because o…”
Pope: The best AI inference chip is also a great training chip
“I think the best inference chip today will be a train, a really good training chip as well.”
