Here's what's happening. What they realized is that the AI scaling race is not a chip race. It's a full stack systems code race where if you can't compete head-to-head on chips for now, what do you do.You compete on systems design. You say, "Okay, we don't have leading edge chips here yet. So, let's try to compete on systems." The code design, the chip that you have might be Huawei with the compute infrastructure with the training run. And then you design that to have a bunch of performance improvements at ...

If they have Blackwells, they'll use them in a discreet manner, for inference or experim ...
