I wonder when Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI will partner on an open chip design to compete with NVIDIA.

They’re all blowing billions of dollars on NVIDIA hardware with like 70% margin and with triton backing PyTorch it shouldn’t be that hard to move off of CUDA stack.

It would require a fairly big bet on AI models not changing structure all that much, I guess

I think if the tooling and supply chain falls into place it would surprise me if meta and friends didn't make their own chips, assuming it was a good fit of course.

Note: AMD's missed opportunity here is so bad people jump "make their own chip" rather than "buy AMD". Although watch that space.

Aren't they basically safe as long as future AI models are still basically multiplying tensors of floats?
