yesterday we chatted with @martin_casado and @sarahdingwang on the pod and he happened to do basic math™ on the logic of asics today @taalas_inc launched their HC1 asic that can inference 17k tok/s. Sure, it's a shitty 3.1 8B today which is a 1.5 year gap. But read the details to the HC2 this winter, and do the math — this timeline will converge to 0 in the next 2 years. Build accordingly.
