Excited to announce that I’ve accepted a new role as @leelanajafi ’s upstairs neighbor in SF, after careful consideration of location & commute (10 stairs).

I couldn’t ask for a better partner to vertically integrate with. Looking forward to growing together 1 floor at a time.

The chip behind ChatGPT started design six years before ChatGPT existed.

Chips take years. Software ships in weeks. That gap is the AI era’s biggest bottleneck, and it won’t fix itself.

This company just solved the biggest problem in hardware that nobody talks about. It's called Cognichip and its model doesn't assist engineers, it co-designs with them. While everyone ships LLM wrappers, ACI made the model BE the design.

One engineer took a 55-page spec through RTL, verification, and PPA optimization in a few days.

That used to take a team 4-5 months.

Chips are accelerating to the speed of algorithms:

@cognichip just announced its Artificial Chip Intelligence/ACI: physics-informed models that perform the whole task of delivering state-of-the-art chips

@RenesasGlobal and @SiTimeCorp are already putting to work - and soon ACI will be behind every great chip that comes to market

[Hasan Toor @hasantoxr]

BIG NEWS... a company just did to chip design what everyone said was impossible.

It's called Cognichip and it took a 55-page chip spec through RTL, verification, and PPA optimization in a few days.

That used to take a full engineering team 4-5 months.

🚨 Roy Keane Doesn't Hold Back After Iran's Controversial VAR Heartbreak:

🗣️ “I don't want to hear anyone telling me VAR is making football better after watching that. If that's the standard at a World Cup, we're in trouble.

The whole point of the technology is to stop obvious mistakes. Instead, it's become another way to create them. That goal should never have been taken away if the decision wasn't absolutely clear.

I feel for the Iranian players. They thought they'd produced one of the biggest moments in their country's football history, only for it to be wiped out by people sitting in a room watching television screens.

When you're making decisions that can send one team through and knock another out, you have to get them right. 'Almost right' isn't good enough. Not on this stage.

Football is about players deciding matches, not officials becoming the biggest talking point afterwards. Yet here we are again, discussing referees instead of the football.

Someone has to explain how that decision was reached because supporters deserve answers. If VAR can't provide fairness in moments like these, then it's failing at the one job it was brought into the game to do.”

[DENZO FC @Denzo_R2]

Thierry Henry on the VAR decision that denied Iran a last-minute winner against Egypt:

🗣️ “I genuinely feel sick for the Iranian players. They believed they had written one of the greatest moments in their country's football history, only for it to be ripped away in seconds. That's a pain no footballer should experience.”

“You cannot ask players to give everything for ninety minutes and then allow a decision like this to define their World Cup. If VAR is overturning goals of this magnitude, it has to be absolutely flawless. There is no room for doubt.”

“Look at the faces of the players, look at the supporters in the stands. Those weren't just tears over a goal—they were tears over a dream that disappeared in an instant. That's what makes this so heartbreaking.”

“This isn't just about Iran anymore. Every nation at this World Cup should be worried because if a moment like this can happen on football's biggest stage, it can happen to anyone. That's a frightening thought.”

“The officials will move on to the next game, but the Iranian players and their supporters will carry this moment for the rest of their lives. Some scars in football never truly heal.”

“If that decision was wrong, then football has failed Iran. A World Cup should be remembered for unforgettable goals and heroic performances not for a controversy that leaves millions wondering what might have been.”
