shangofoxon AMD acquires Taalas to boost inference performance by etching models in silicon

I mean even if it take a few months, it'll still be out of date. But there was a hypothetical when it came up in Feb, would you want Qwen 3.5 at like 10k tokens per second.

At the time people were no doubt saying yes but now 3.8 is out, is that still desirable?

But the government can already do all that without Digital ID. That's my question with the fear mongering.

I mean, it's a strategic asset in the sense that it's already devalued a lot of the American tech companies because they're so heavily invested in AI. Just look at NVDA today.
