This Sam Altman interview won't age well.🤣 -Do you think space data centers will provide a meaningful amount of compute for OpenAI in the next two to three years? Sam Altman: No. -Five years? Sam Altman: No. -Ten years? -Ten thousand years? Sam Altman: I wish Elon luck.



Vik and Val Bercovici (@weka) map where AI inference memory is headed. Every 100x cut in KV cache gets swallowed by ~10,000x more usage, so demand climbs. - NVLink beats the board: 128 lanes vs 32 PCIe - WEKA serves NAND-backed storage faster than DRAM over network - DeepSeek's cache reads run ~87x cheaper, China only - CXL needs a dedicated bus, WEKA pools NAND over RDMA/NVLink instead - Val's call: SaaS giants and Neoclouds must merge Chapters: 0:00 Intro and memory prices 3:00 Model routing and offloading 5:10 Network faster than motherboard 13:06 Four-tier memory hierarchy 19:40 KV cache and Jevons paradox 23:50 DeepSeek cache read pricing 31:40 Sliding window attention 34:49 NAND tiers, SLC vs QLC 43:57 High bandwidth flash use cases 49:59 CXL versus NVLink 53:44 AMD Mex and small models 1:03:14 SaaS, Neoclouds and tokenomics Get more of Austin and Vik daily, free!

Zuckerberg confirmed that Meta intends to severely undercut competitors on pricing. The core strategy is to commoditize access to achieve the widest possible distribution. They are currently building internal frameworks to launch an enterprise cloud business. They are also evaluating plans to directly sell access to the massive AI compute reserves they have accumulated. $META

Dylan Patel on the importance of memory and storage Two key quotes: "An $NVDA GPU is faster than an $AMD GPU in most cases, but because AMD GPUs have more memory, they can outperform Nvidia in certain workloads." “It is a difficult, multivariable problem. Generally, you need the best GPU, such as a GB300, but you also need the best storage solutions. I will not spoil who comes out on top, but storage solutions matter a lot, memory solutions matter a lot, and frontend networking also matters significantly" Full Quote: “We have over $80 million of compute: GPUs from $NVDA and $AMD, TPUs from Google, and Trainium from Amazon. We constantly run this benchmark using the newest inference engines, drivers, PyTorch versions, and other software. It runs every day through automated CI across the latest Chinese models from GLM, Zhipu, Moonshot, Kimi, Alibaba, and others. Initially, when we were benchmarking the differences between these chips, inference engines, and parallelism schemes, we used fixed context lengths. But with Agent X, we have now analyzed more than $5 million worth of Claude Code traces. This is real production traffic that users have donated to us, combined with internally generated data, so we now understand what an actual agent workload looks like. When we implement those workloads and run the benchmarks, it turns out that the chip you are using is very important, but how you handle memory offload can be even more important. An Nvidia GPU is faster than an AMD GPU in most cases, but because AMD GPUs have more memory, they can outperform Nvidia in certain workloads. Similarly, you can use a less powerful GPU with a much better storage solution and outperform the best GPU when it lacks those solutions. Simply buying the newest GPU does not necessarily give you the best inference economics. You need to layer in other innovations, including storage and memory.” Interviewer: “Who is the top player on your chart? Can you tell us?” Dylan Patel: “It is a difficult, multivariable problem. Generally, you need the best GPU, such as a GB300, but you also need the best storage solutions. I will not spoil who comes out on top, but storage solutions matter a lot, memory solutions matter a lot, and frontend networking also matters significantly.”
