Oh I'm happy this has a name now! Even if it's quite silly.

> HN is an interesting place.

How is it interesting that in a forum with thousands of active users, someone posted a comment that disagreed with other comments from 6 years ago?

Even in this thread, there's many different opinions being expressed.

Surely it's more of a spectrum? From a CPU, to a TPU, to a chip that hardwires softmax attention but lets you store arbitrary weights, to one that hardwires the weights directly.

That depends what kind of ASIC you’re talking about. Cerebras can run models like GLM 4.7 with 355B parameters.

The first professional commercial 4K camera came out over 23 years ago, and the first smartphones and camcorders capable of 4K video were back in 2013.

The Macbook Neo has a 2.5x higher multi-core Geekbench score compared to the i7-4960X's, the top consumer CPU of 2013 (which could handle 4K video editing in h264), and its single-core performance is 5x higher. Plus, I'm 99% sure the MacBook Neo has a dedicated video decoding ASIC anyway.
