20KW? Wow. That's a lot of power. Is that figure per hour?
If you run it for an hour, yes.
Ah yes, like those EV chargers that are rated at X kWh/hour.

#352Wow, I wish we could post pictures to HN. That chip is HUGE!!!! The WSE-3 is the largest AI chip ever built, measuring 46,255 mm² and containing 4 trillion transistors. It delivers 125 petaflops of AI compute through 900,000 AI-optimized cores — 19× more transistors and 28× more compute than the NVIDIA B200.

> 46,255 mm² To be clear: that's the thousandths separator, not the Nordic decimal. It's the size of a cat, not the size of a thumbnail.
This is why space is the only acceptable thousands/grouping separator (a non-breaking space when possible). Avoids any confusion.

#353Every release they claim it writes production code but my team still spends hours fixing subtle bugs the model introduces. The demos are cherry picked and the real world failure rate is way higher than anyone admits. Meanwhile we keep feeding them our codebases for free training data.

As another comment referenced in this thread states, Cerebras seems to have solved by making their big chip a lot of much smaller cores that can be disposed of if they have errors.
Indeed, the original comment you replied to actually made no sense in this case. But there seemed to be some confusion in the thread, so I tried to clear that up. I hope I’ll get to talk with one of the cerebras engineers one day, that chip is really one of a kind.
Yes, amazing tech. You should join their Discord, it's pretty active these days!

I asked because that's the average power consumption of an average household in the US per day. So, if that figure is per hour, that's equivalent to one household worth of power consumption per hour...which is a lot.
I think you are confusing KW (kilowatt) with KWH (kilowatt hour). A KW is a unit of power while a KWH is a unit of energy. Power is a measure of energy transferred in an amount of time, which is why you rate an electronic device’s energy usage using power; it consumes energy over time. In terms of paying for electricity, you care about the total energy consumed, which is why your electric bill is denominated in KWH,…
Acktshually "kW" and "kWh" to be precise

for cerbras, can we call them chips? you're no longer breaking the wafer we should call them slabs

Space is also confusing! Then it looks like two separate numbers.
Underscore (_) is already used as a decimal separator in programming languages and Mathematics should just adopt it, IMO.

#3591000 tokens per second. Crazy. I'm wondering what this leads to.
Imagine the massive amount of software that's going to get built. It will be like reinventing the wheel in a million ways. There will be thousands of alternative internet ecosystems to choose from and each one of then would offer every software system, platform and application that one could possibly need; fully compatible with data transferrable across any application within the same ecosystem. Some ecosystems would facilitate data transfers in and out. Ecosystems would be competing against each other; all different, but ultimately yielding very similar results. The competitive edge of one ecosystem over another would be purely grounded in narrative with no basis in reality because the differences between the best ecosystems would be meaningless. That said there would also be bad ecosystems where a lot of people may get trapped. Some people would get lost in the junk.

A competing format to simplify things?
