Another implicit assumption is that LLMs will be SoTA throughout that period, or the successor architecture will have an equally insatiable appetite for lots of compute, memory and memory bandwidth; I'd like to believe that Nvidia is o

Why give any additional money to Nvidia when you can announce more profits (or get more compute if you're a government agency) by hiring more engineers to enable AMD hardware for less than a few million per year? It's not like Mic

Seeing that they don't have a mature software stack, I think for now AMD would prefer one customer who brings in $10m revenue over 10'000 customers at $1000 a pop.

AMD can go toe to toe with Nvidia on hardware innovation. What AMD had realised (correctly, IMO), is that all they need is for hyperscalers to match/come close to Nvidia on software innovation on AMD hardware - Amazon/Meta/

If you read/listen to the Stratechary interview wirh Lisa Hsu, she spelled out being open ro customizing AMD hardware to meet partner's needs. So if Microsoft needs more memory bandwidth and less compute, AMD will build something

IMO, you lose half the benefits by shimming OTP (genserver, hot-reload). Platform owners like Apple or Google could easily make Erlang processes first class citizens on their Unix(-like) platforms - one can already run full-fledged Erlang&#

If you really wanted to do this, it would be fairly trivial to implement with Erlang/Elixir. We have thr technology - just no motivation (i.e. no profit in it)
