It's better to create something that others criticize than to create nothing and criticize others

@pandemona I remember my orc prot warrior named Mux. I loved WoW! 😀 Forever looks really good and I definitely have a lot of nostalgia now. For the Horde!!!

Chips, the next frontier for scaling intelligence. Phenomenal milestone

Introducing Project Redwood 🚀🚀

@architectlabs is a frontier AI lab bringing together talent from Anthropic, xAI, Google DeepMind, and seasoned leaders across the hardware industry. We've raised a $24M seed round to build AI systems for chip design.

我們 Architect Labs 是一個 frontier AI lab ，由各家 Anthropic, xAI, Google DeepMind 還有各種硬體專家們組成，我們在做的是 ai system for chip design，目前募資 seed round $24M

Today, every major hardware company has its own chip design workflow—but these organizations and processes have become so large and entrenched that truly revolutionary change is difficult. We’re starting from first principles to create an AI-native chip design workflow—one that enables chip development to finally move at the speed of AI.

現在每家大硬體巨頭都有自己的晶片設計流程，但很多都大到不能做革命性的流程改動；我們在做的是從零思考，創造 ai native 的晶片設計流程，讓晶片設計真正跟上 AI 的速度。

Project Redwood - from a single specification, our AI system designed, verified, and deployed a chip in under two weeks—delivering 3.4× better performance per watt than NVIDIA Jetson on billion-parameter models including Llama, Qwen, and Kimi. It autonomously generated the RTL, verification, firmware, drivers, and kernels, co-designing the model, software, and silicon in one optimization loop. We acknowledge that silicon is the ultimate ground-truth. We’re taking our approach all the way to GDS. We intend to tape-out multiple improved families of Redwood co-designed for various use-cases, on TSMC.

Project Redwood - 一份規格書，我們的 AI 系統在兩週內完成晶片的設計、驗證與部署。在 Llama、Qwen 和 Kimi 等模型，其 performance per watt 比 NVIDIA Jetson 高出 3.4 倍。從 RTL、驗證、韌體、驅動到核心 kernels，全部由 AI 自己寫，並在同一個 loop 中自主設計模型、軟體與晶片。當然，流片才是最終的驗證標準。因此，我們會將這套方法一路推進至 GDS，並計畫採用台積電製程，針對不同應用場景協同設計多個持續改良的 Redwood 晶片系列並完成流片。

@cambridgemike It was great working with you. There really was an incredible amount of pressure during those years, and I’ll never forget the people who were in it together. I’m grateful you were one of them. Really happy to know you

How is it this bad

Listening to this classic today with a lot of nostalgia. Queensryche released Operation: Mindcrime in 1988, and it's so freakin' good. A concept album that tells a story. Metal meets Broadway, and it's absolutely incredible

@battleangelviv I think it's partially algorithms. They seem to reward extremes and unfortunately negativity gets more attention than positivity. I agree there's so much to be optimistic about!
