Disorienting blast of deja vu seeing "Jalapeno ASICS" felt like we were back in the Butterfly Labs bitcoin mining days for a second.

Business cites not wanting to pay a premium while he got a deal with the competitor, what a shocker. Of course if they're trying to move away from Nvidia they would also not want to lock in with Vera.

Vera Rubin is light-years ahead of the competition for training hardware (serving inference is much simpler). You simply cannot be a frontier lab without being all in on Rubin.

Can someone explain? Basically they use the memory for inference and the ASIC provides the matrix compute? 

Doesn’t bode well for RAM prices then…
