#2Is it the first to reach 2 exaflops?

#3Extremely impressive accomplishment considering they did this with Chinese interconnects and Chinese chips. This is a wake up call.

#5Would the AI “GW-scale” clusters be able to run the Top500 benchmarks meaningfully? And what might be the outcome?

We're too busy regulating the tech, not granting access to US engineers and companies, arguing against power and data centers, stopping skilled immigration.
This is absolutely going to bite us in the face in five to ten years.

#7> Why aren’t these AI companies submitting to the TOP500 to show off their computing prowess?
my knowledge is 10+ years out of date, but once upon a time if they'd chosen to, Google could have had _several_ entries in the top 10 of the TOP500 list
It's just poker, they didn't want to tip their hand

Separate issue that has nothing to do with US manufacturing or HPC. I think our retreat from science funding and offshoring advanced manufacturing is a bigger issue.

#9Just glad to see Hamburg mentioned :)
Hope you all didn’t suffer too much through the current heatwave

Cloud computing is not a supercomputer. Different architecture, bandwitch, interconnectivity and latencies.
