as useful as it was before this administration when big tech was sucking up to whomever was running the country (e.g. “macho man” Zuck was getting ready to tattoo DEI on his forehead couple of years ago) or just now it’ll be magically useful?

You miss my point. This is a list of people engaging in something flat-out corrupt . The ballroom is an inherently corrupt project. It will prove to be simple corruption.

Why is that relevant if there is no one willing to prosecute and convict?

Shy of an algo breakthrough, open source isn't going to catch up with SOTA, their main trick for model improvement is distilling the SOTA models. That's why they they have perpetually been "right behind".

They don't need to catch up. They just need to be good enough and fast as fuck. Vast majority of useful tasks of LLMs has nothing to do with how smart they are. GPT-5 models have been the most useless models out of any model released this year despite being SOTA, and it because it slow as fuck.

Bullseye.

Can you show any other thing that runs nvidia gpu under m-series macs?

Who cares? Nobody is building large scale inference services with macs.

Because this is exactly the demonstration of abstraction: the same stuff allows direct gpu communication so that even mac nvidia thing is possible.

It is not tied to nvidia as well.

This is the power of tinygrad

Headline is incorrect. NVIDIA isn't buying Groq. It's a non exclusive deal for inference tech. Or am I reading it incorrectly?

There is also movement over of some key people to nvidia which is pretty significant: "As part of this agreement, Jonathan Ross, Groq’s Founder, Sunny Madra, Groq’s President, and other members of the Groq team will join Nvidia to help advance and scale the licensed technology."

Non-exclusive licensing and hiring the team.
