  Prediction: Chris Lattner will be off chasing some other shiny thing within a year. Without a strong champion, the company will be subsumed into Qualcomm and stop publishing meaningful updates.

    100% on both counts but don't know if it's "within a year", or within a couple.

    I have this pang too, but for a different reason: everything is moving to the edge, training and inference. Who needs a complicated heterogeneous setup like this when you’re running everything locally?

  Chris Lattner is now Qualcomm's VP of AI Software and Tooling, so he is now responsible for all of Qualcomms AI software. Mojo wouldn't be doing any dying

    Chris Lattner is now very very rich. Once his lockup expires he will not need to work for anyone. I'm sure Qualcomm would love him to stick around but suspect that they'll maintain mojo even if he leaves.

      he was rich already with all his previous jobs + all the funding the company got
