"9/9 Tesla chip design work in contrast to Nvidias The challenge (Nvidia) has is that they've got to satisfy a large range of requirements from a lot of customers. When you look at the various logic blocks in the chip you increase the number of logic blocks you also increase the interconnections between the logic blocks. So you can think of it like highways - how many highways do you need to connect the various parts of the chip Especially if you're not sure how much data is going to go between each logic block on the chip then you kind of end up having giant highways going all over the place."

"7/14 Building ChatGPTs chip expertise Brockman: weve been able to apply our own models to designing this chip which has been really cool. Weve been able to pull in the schedule weve been able to get massive area reductions you take components that humans have already optimized and just port compute into it and the model comes out with its own optimizations. And its very interesting. Were at the point now where I dont think any of the optimizations we have are ones that human designers couldnt have come up with like usually our experts take a look at it later and say yeah this was on my list"
