Yeah $TIG is flying under the radar
An open protocol for algorithm development
listening to John explain how algorithms can optimise & help you extract maximum utility from any given chip
DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, they're all racing to own the algorithmic layer
if they win, you pay a tax on every optimized query, every solved route, every compressed model
Over the last 50 years, we focused on hardware
The fight was between Intel, ASML, TSMC: who could etch circuits smallest and cheapest at scale?
many years ago we realised Moore's law seemed to be hitting a ceiling, that there may be fundamental limitations of physics
as such, the focus changed to how we could extract maximum utility from the hardware
the fight will be for the most optimised software
I spoke with @Dr_JohnFletcher to discuss the TIG mission
