- duxup 2y agoDoes the desirable talent in this case have equity / future vesting equity that is a part of the price? I just wonder as many decades ago I was a part of a company who wanted to get into a market, they bought a little start up, and over the course of a year everyone quit, and the project eventually folded entirely ;) It was sorta hilarious, but also bizarre that the acquiring company didn't think of that.
- thenaturalist 2y agoI mean buying a "private AI lab" doesn't sound to me like they have the purchase price worth in IP which is so desirable nobody else has unlocked it and it lends itself particularly well to being integrated with AMD tech? Let's see if more details come to light, but a good part of that price is spent for sure on people. It'd be hilarious indeed if they wouldn't be able to or haven't properly incentivized them to retain them.
- stanleykm 2y agoDid you mean ROCm? afaik Triton is a python framework that sits on top of CUDA and ROCm.
