I build chips. CSE PhD, UMich '25. Opinions are of my own


Inference Chips for Agent Workflows @sdianahu Most AI chips are designed for "prompt in, response out." Agents don't work that way. They loop, branch, and hold context across dozens of steps, and current GPUs hit 30–40% utilization as a result. That gap is where purpose-built silicon wins.

.@tenstorrent will launch its new gen cluster-scale systems next week, but in the mean time, Jim Keller @jimkxa and Jasmina Vasiljevic @JasminaVas gave me a sneak preview of their video generation demo running on 256 BlackHole chips (spoiler - it's fast): eetimes.com/tenstorrent-pr…

Old computer professionals, people in their 50s, 60s, that started with assembly, are about to become weapons of mass destruction as they discover what they can do with codex-level tools

🏆 CHAMPS 🏆


I've returned from my month-long China trip. A big thank you to all the Chinese engineers who spent their time meeting with me. I have learned so much. I intend to return soon to learn more. My goal was to empty my cup and look at the AI + robotics ecosystem with fresh eyes. I’ve come away extremely impressed. China feels to me like a nation of engineers, contrasting with America being a nation of traders. Simultaneously, I am concerned that the world is unprepared for what is to come.
