I'm using the AMD (Xilinx) K26. It's a Zynq Ultrascale+, the successor to the old classic 7000's. I'm running it on the KV260 dev board, because I'm using it for another side proje…

It will be, I'm just not happy with my blog post before making it live. The blog will have a live interactive chat and a link to the repo with the HDL. I don't think anything I did…

AMD could have saved their money and used their own hardware! I've got a language model doing 60k tok/s on AMD hardware already, a Xilinx Kria K26 SOM, with the weights baked into …

So for people wondering if it can be used to accelerate LLM inference, sadly not. I've been trying to hit 100,000tokens/s with a 3.28m dumb model, and even this is an order of magn…

I benchmarked Claude Code and GitHub Copilot on the same model (Haiku 4.5) with and without RAG-powered semantic search across 60 queries on a real codebase. RAG didn't make search…

Rewriting the backend Bitwise Cloud, my semantic search for embedded systems docs Claude Code plugin from Python to Go. The problem was the ML dependencies. The backend uses BGE-sm…

Fantastic comment, thanks! A review of the state of BEV's was actually going to be one of my next articles (hopefully after the additives). Are you happy for me to drop you an emai…

Good spot, and gruez is right about the caption too (fixed both, thanks). The car's L/hr figure was wrong. At 45 mpg (imperial) and 70 mph cruise, a car burns ~7 L/hr, not 3. That …

Probably the first thing to consider is the trucks have their speed calibrated periodically to ensure the accuracy of their tachographs (in the UK at least) so a truck doing 90kmph…

Sorry, got mixed up there, will amend, the 60 is for +3.5t! Edit: Nope, despite the vehicles only being able to propel themselves to 90kmph, the speed limit is indeed 60mph (in Eng…

I have done a deep dive here: https://www.mikeayles.com/blog/on-vehicle-hydrogen-generatio... Short answer, it takes more energy to generate than the energy it produces. You can do…

Fair point that a full TCO comparison would be more complete, and it's something I'm planning to cover in a later post. But the capital cost argument actually reinforces the conclu…

Good catches, both of them. The hydrogen pathway should include grid transmission before the electrolyser, you're right. In practice it doesn't change the overall ratio much (multi…

Thanks. Both good questions, and they come up a lot. To be clear, I'm fully behind decarbonising freight. It's one of the hardest sectors to clean up and it needs serious attention…
