So Mistral is just an ASML wrapper.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoASML in turn wraps a bunch of companies for lenses (Carl Zeiss), lasers (Trumpf), etc [0] Given lenses and microchips are both made from sand, I'm gonna conspiracy theory that LLMs were invented by sand companies to sell more sand.

- burnte 1y ago> LLMs were invented by sand companies to sell more sand. Big sand will eat us all. First they squeezed out all the small time sand farmers, now they own the market and need to boost throughput!
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoI suppose the childhood fear of quicksand wasn't irrational after all.

- VHRanger 1y agoWoah woah woah AMD promises ROCm will stop being a joke very soon! Maybe this year even!
- vonneumannstan 1y agoAMD is also just a TSMC wrapper though...
- Phelinofist 1y agoIsn't AMD an ASML wrapper too?
- realz 1y agoEverything is wrapper copper, iron, salt, and water
- renewiltord 1y agoASML is "just a wrapper" for US technology licensed to them because Canon and Nikon were too close in size to each other to privilege one or the other. So we bestowed it on guy #3 (who bought guy #4) out of preventing anti-competition.
- touwer 1y agoSure, all technology is invented in the US. Only the US
- renewiltord 1y agoNot all. Maybe the majority of modern inventions. And definitely EUV tech. None of this wrapper talk is real but to the degree it’s true for TSMC it’s true for ASML.
- touwer 1y agowhat is the source of your assumption that the majority of modern invensions is US based? For EUV it's Japan, Netherlands, Germany, US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithograph... So not (only) US
- mrtksn 1y agoThis is very bad analogy, there is no case of different layers of abstractions here. The machines that ASML make are just a tool that TSMC uses, TSMC doesn’t wrap the machines. Nvidia is also not a TSMC wrapper, TSMC is just a contractor for Nvidia. LLMs happen to use Nvidia stuff a lot but, definitely no wrapping.
