When it sees a fault code, it can basically crack the service manual, look at your specific like OEM negotiated warranty agreements and then correlate the two and say, yes, this specific issue, given the age or, you know, the number of miles that have been driven on this vehicle is actually covered under warranty. And then it can open a work order, put in the steps and also tell you, hey, do any of the other trucks have that issue? That is a, you know, like what would have been like an hour or two of human labor that we've been able to automate down to like under a minute.”

Cerebras cloud achieves 10x inference speedup over fast GPUs on Gemma
“Say, if you run Gemma four, On your GP, you might get like a hundred tokens per second if you have a fast card. If you run it in their cloud, you get anywhere from 800 to 1500 tokens per second. So call it 10 X faster.”

Physical AI moats require real-world edge data you cannot crawl online
“These are not the tokens you're going to find online. Like you can't crawl Reddit and find out about what happened on a construction site, right? Nor can you do you know, test time reasoning about it. You can't just, you can simulate all kinds of environments,…”
Continuous AI driver video monitoring becomes commercially viable in 1-2 years
“That's basically a massive amount of video computation, right? So you can run a tokenizer. It just turns into like a lot of compute. You can do that today. It's pretty expensive and costly, but it works and it's doable. We're pretty optimistic that the, you kn…”
Long-haul trucking represents only a minority of commercial fleet vehicles
“On the trucking side, it's also important to realize, like, there's long haul trucking and kind of, like, moving stuff from point A to point B. That tends to be a minority fraction of what the commercial vehicles on the road are doing. Most of the commercial v…”
Specialized commercial vehicle autonomy could take 10 to 20 years
“So for that reason, we think the adoption might be a bit slower, but it's not like a no, it's just, it might take 1020 years. And these are industries where, again, the equipment's highly specialized. Like if you look at cement mixers or you know, garbage truc…”
