What is the pass rate on torchbench? This gives a more realistic measure of how good a vendor's pytorch support is. All the big chip startups have their own pytorch compiler that w…

llama.cpp is not necessary for creating lots of demand for the chip it was originally written for (Apple M1), whereas new hardware vendors need to demonstrate they can plugin to ex…

Even after prioritising tensorflow, keras, jax etc., they can still afford to have a very large team working on torch_xla and still hedge their bets with a separate team on torch_m…

That might be good enough to get a hardware startup acquired, but not good enough to get major sales. Users want pytorch and negligible switching cost between chips. Bigger problem…

Easier said than done. Even with Google level resources, TPU support for pytorch is patchy ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.07181 ). Device abstraction is not great, assumes CUDA in un…

I guess some people who worked on the transputer later went on to design Graphcore's IPU? The architecture looks similar (and Bristol based)
