Neon has been fast in benchmarks because of hand optimised kernels, but their kernel guy (Scott Gray) recently left to OpenAI. I wonder why

- scott-gray 10y agoI was aware of this deal before leaving. I made out pretty well with my vested shares but was more interested in working on the cutting edge of research than in continuing on with pure hardware optimization and design. I wish Nervana/Intel the best and I'm looking forward to seeing their hardware come to market. I'm mainly working on TensorFlow now, but would love to see Nervana finish the graph backend they've been working on.
