Meta, Aitomatic, and other members of the AI Alliance have released the world's first large language model specifically trained on the needs of the semiconductor industry.
I mean … the kind of CPUs that take this much are probably unnecessary for many things. One can run quests, something like Doom, something like SW: Rebellion and SW: X-Wing Alliance on hardware from simpler times. One can also, surprisingly but not, do office tasks and listen to music on the same hardware. One can even render things like Babylon 5 computer-made parts on it. I would love to live in such a world. Also with modern processes and voltages such hardware could probably be insanely energy-efficient as compared to what we commonly use.
That said, I can understand machine generation and optimization of chip designs, and machine checking of them. Something they already do, I’m certain.
But what the hell would an LLM contribute there, seems unclear for me.
