    Great read.

    I like how the author uses the analogy of scrabble word creation to describe LLM training but unfortunately the analogy didn't continue to inference and I got lost trying to keep up.

    > And Anthropic is paying LLM competitor SpaceXAI over a billion dollars per month to lease spare compute

    I knew of this but not the $ amount. Wow

      Big money from taking Tesla's place in line for an Nvidia shipment during a huge shortage without compensation.

    Excellent article. I believe the majority of benchmark performance gains moving forward will come from this side of the stack enabling faster iteration/recursion.
