Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 7 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Modular's Mojo FlashAttention beats Tri Dao's reference implementation
“We're beating the tree DAO reference implementation that everybody uses, for example, right? Written fully in Mojo. Again, all of our, GPU kernels are written in Mojo. You can go see the history of the team building this, and it was done in just a few weeks, r…”
Lattner says Mojo is 10,000x faster than Python and beats Rust
“Mojo is not just a little faster than Python, it's faster than Rust. So it's like tens of thousands of times faster than Python, and it's in the Python family.”
Howard: Mojo-like languages will unlock thousands of FlashAttention-scale breakthroughs
“There is a thousand flash attentions out there for us to build. You just got to make it easy for us to build them. So like Triton definitely helps. But it's still, Not easy. You know, it still requires kind of really understanding the VPU architecture, writing…”
Chintala: Deep PyTorch-Mojo integration lacks synergy because Mojo replaces PyTorch frontend
“Mojo as a fundamental frontend would be replacing PyTorch, not, like, augmenting PyTorch. So, in that sense, I don't see a synergy in more deeply, like, integrating Mojo.”
First-time Mojo developers built a GPU training system in one day
“The winning team for the hackathon took that four person team. And one day they had not used Mojo before they hadn't programmed GPUs before. And they had built a training system. They wrote an atom optimizer, a bunch of training kernels. They built a simple ba…”
