Sam Altman (OpenAI) seeking compiler/PL designers on X
- tntpreneur 1y agoDo you know what this means? Most probably, they want to build a new programing language that LLMs can develop more easily with.
- bigyabai 1y ago> squeeze max performance out of a system Sounds more like SPIR-V and intermediary optimization for custom hardware or their current setup. I'm guessing sama wants to copy Deepseek's strategy, not build a language.
- tntpreneur 1y agoThis could be more likely. I don't know why but I always think that some can build better programing language for LLMs to develop.
- bigyabai 1y agoI don't think a greenfield programming language would be easier for AI to use or more useful than the current selection of languages.
- rvz 1y agoThis makes the most sense given that OpenAI is moving away from Nvidia GPUs and developing their own chips for inference. So there would need to be compiler support in Triton for their new custom inference chips that will be used run on them.
- fragmede 1y agoOne thing I've thought about for coding with LLMs, is that passing in source code to be tokenized by the clip/whatever English text parser seems like it would be suboptimal compared to training on the AST that gets generated by the compiler after parsing the source.
