Ooh, what are these ASICs you're talking about? My understanding was that we'll see AMD/Nvidia gpus continue to be pushed and very competitive as well as have new system architectures like cerebras or grok. I haven't heard about new compute platforms framed as ASICs.
- Workaccount2 2y agoCerebras has ridiculously large LLM ASICs that can hit crazy speeds. You can try it with llama 8B and 70B: https://inference.cerebras.ai/ https://inference.cerebras.ai/ It's pretty fast, but my understanding is that it is still too expensive even accounting for the speed-up.
- throwup238 2y agoIs Cerebras an integrated circuit or more an integrated wafer? :-) And yeah their cost is ridiculous, on the order for high 6 to low 7 figures per wafer. The rack alone looks several times more expensive than the 8x NVIDIA pods [1] [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20230812020202/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzyZpauU3Ig https://web.archive.org/web/20230812020202/https://www.youtu...
