Episode notes
Real-Time Interaction Is Nonnegotiable
- Users will demand fluid, real-time AI interactions similar to human conversation.
- Business leaders must plan infrastructure for millisecond-level responsiveness, not slow batch responses.
Supply Delays Drive Specialized Silicon
- Hardware supply delays are creating a market shift toward specialized processors and custom silicon.
- Organizations can't always wait 12–18 months for general-purpose chips and thus consider alternatives.
Prioritize Developer Velocity
- Prioritize developer velocity by reducing kernel and library rework when changing models or systems.
- Use tools that accept native ML languages (PyTorch, ONNX) to avoid 80% rework of kernels.
