"Nvidia is buying Groq for two reasons imo. 1) Inference is disaggregating into prefill and decode. SRAM architectures have unique advantages in decode for workloads where performance is primarily a function of memory bandwidth. Rubin CPX Rubin and the putative Rubin SRAM variant derived from Groq should give Nvidia the ability to mix and match chips to create the optimal balance of performance vs. cost for each workload. Rubin CPX is optimized for massive context windows during prefill as a result of super high memory capacity with its relatively low bandwidth GDDR DRAM. Rubin is the"

"1) DeepSeek r1 is real with important nuances. Most important is the fact that r1 is so much cheaper and more efficient to inference than o1 not from the $6m training figure. r1 costs 93% less to *use* than o1 per each API can be run locally on a high end work station and does not seem to have hit any rate limits which is wild. Simple math is that every 1b active parameters requires [--] gb of RAM in FP8 so r1 requires [--] gb of RAM. Batching massively lowers costs and more compute increases tokens/second so still advantages to inference in the cloud. Would also note that there are true"

"2) Conclusions: 1) Lowering the cost to train will increase the ROI on AI. 2) There is no world where this is positive for training capex or the power theme in the near term. 3) The biggest risk to the current AI infrastructure winners across tech industrials utilities and energy is that a distilled version of r1 can be run locally at the edge on a high end work station (someone referenced a Mac Studio Pro). That means that a similar model will run on a superphone in circa [--] years. If inference moves to the edge because it is good enough we are living in a very different world with very"

"OpenAI had a significant lead from summer [----] through spring [----] when Google and Anthropic caught up to GPT-4. 7ish quarters of dominance as a result of being the first to aggressively bet on the traditional scaling law for pre-training. Being first to reasoning with o1 only led to a few months of advantage. Deepseek Google and xAI are at rough parity with OpenAI today. xAI arguably in the lead. Google and xAI will likely decisively surpass o3 soon as their base models are better. So urgent need for GPT-5 as the basis for a putative o5reasoning model. Sam noted that OpenAI would have a"

"Yesterday @RealJimChanos posited that Teslas relatively low capex meant that they were not a serious competitor in real world AI and Robotics. This is *exactly* the wrong way to look at it and the implications of this fact are actually positive for Tesla IMO. Teslas inference definitionally happens in the car so their customers are effectively paying for the inference compute capex which is now probably the majority of hyperscaler capex spend. Teslas capex might be an order of magnitude higher if they had to synthetically generate relevant driving data in a datacenter. Customer subsidized"

"My firm @atreidesmgmt will be voting in favor of Elon Musks performance-based compensation package. And I would prefer that *every* company I invest in have a comparable plan.

"Nvidia is buying Groq for two reasons imo. 1) Inference is disaggregating into prefill and decode. SRAM architectures have unique advantages in decode for workloads where performance is primarily a function of memory bandwidth. Rubin CPX Rubin and the putative Rubin SRAM variant derived from Groq should give Nvidia the ability to mix and match chips to create the optimal balance of performance vs. cost for each workload.
