TPU is pretty good but is associated with Google. MTIA is an acronym but still maps to what the chip does. ~~"Cobalt" is worse as it does not mean anything~~ . Cobalt is the CPU chip, MAIA is the accelerator so this matches Meta's naming.
- ShamelessC 3y ago> Why? Inferentia => inference, trainium => training. Funny, that's precisely why I think the names are bad. It's like if Google had chosen "Search-ola" as their name. Way too on the nose and/or lazy. Having said that, I don't really care all that much and I imagine that may have been the spirit of those who chose the names.
- mdaniel 3y agoheh, as someone who has to deal with this nonsense all day <https://aws.amazon.com/products/ https://aws.amazon.com/products/> I would for sure welcome some straightforward naming. $(echo "AWS Fargate" | sed s/Fargate/ServerlessContainerium/)
- organsnyder 3y agoMy previous role was a lot of AWS, and I became convinced that the value of an AWS cert was mostly learning how to map all of the product names to their actual functions.
