Groq, Etched, SambaNova, Taalas // The AI Hardware Show S2E4

Описание: Now we dive into the high-stakes world of LLM inference at the data center scale. From the "LPU" architecture of Groq, recorded just before its surprise acquisition by NVIDIA, to the radical transformer-only ASIC strategy from Etched. We explore how startups like Taalas are hardening specific models directly into silicon for 1000x efficiency gains, how Neuchips is finding its niche where GPUs are overkill, and why SambaNova remains the sole champion of RDU/CGRA architectures in the data center. Finally, we look at Positron, the stealthy newcomer utilizing Intel FPGAs to outperform NVIDIA Hopper systems while preparing a DDR-only ASIC for 2026.
