[29] Ian Interviews: David Bennett, COO Tenstorrent

[@kelownatechkid]

This series is fantastic, thank you to tenstorrent and TTP for partnering on this

[@cem_kaya]

Will you guys have a educational institution discount ? Or Student network deals ?

[@JBrinx18]

Wow, that was quite the interview. The questions were exceptionally good, and the answers finally gave me a good idea about tenstorrent and their place in the market

[@BOLL7708]

I'm short on time so just quickly checking in, but I'm totally in the market for something to _run_ models on, that is better utilized than a GPU. I'm running a local Stable Diffusion instance that people can use through my Discord bot and I would love to build a new machine with dedicated AI hardware in it 🤩

[@branmo_me]

I'm in the same boat as you, definitely want AI focused hardware

[@Veptis]

If you can sell me a PCIe card to run 34B models locally... I am all for it, and want something before this year ends. Nvidia is expensive but works. Intel (PVC-56, Gaudi2) isn't selling to consumers/developers on workstation scale. AMD I have not even looked.

[@esra_erimez]

I really want to know when the IPO is going to be for Tenstorrent

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

Is there a podcast feed with these interview episodes?

This interview has been amazing

[@Grak70]

Hope they have a good export compliance guy.

10:00 "I will probably get in trouble fo saying this. Ten torrent, tens torrtent, 10 to rent..", offtop, but why this company isn't called simply Tensor-2-rent, Tensor cores to rent. or something like that. T2R. TTR, for short.

[@RobBCactive]

Torrent means something think of bit torrent.

[@KabelkowyJoe]

@@RobBCactive and this is exactly my point, it can be associated with file sharing, point 2 point, socket to socket, skiping the server side, direct IP, not necessarely hardware,

[@RobBCactive]

@@KabelkowyJoe Dictionaries help : torrent (countable noun) a sudden large or too large amount, especially one that seems to be uncontrolled: a torrent of He let out a torrent of abuse/angry words. a torrent They are worried that the flow/trickle/stream of tourists could swell into an unmanageable torrent if there are no controls. [ C ] a large amount of water that is moving quickly: Heavy rainfall turned the river into a rushing/raging torrent. Tens is for tensor used in AI, not the TENS units used to give electro-stimulation

[@niks660097]

I can't believe Tenstorrent have a 8-wide decode RISC-V cpu..

[@50shadesofbeige88]

Chief Customer Officer... Its like saying "Customer Success Champion" but for corporate officers. 😂 Sales is turning into a bad word in corporatespeak.

[@platin2148]

Hmm if you have something i‘ll take it i hope it’s very good at matrix math. But i‘d like to have a nice api for a very fast C/C++ language. I‘m not using Python api‘s. Does it maybe even run MIRL? And if you get me a RiscV as a cpu with CAN-FD and say SDIO/PCIe i‘ll take it even faster. For one of our platforms we are looking for a new CPU not much AI needed there though maybe something like Denoising..

[@kelownatechkid]

Please, please we need hardware!!

[@kayakMike1000]

I want one!

[@briancannard7335]

Nvidia will eat us all with the cash enough to pay $80k/year per a Cadence EDA seat to re-layout GDSII incrementally. Fused multiply-add IP does require a giant corporation to run, it's not Linux.

[@kelownatechkid]

"$80k/year per a Cadence EDA seat" lmao this is so true

[@metallurgico]

"ok, but I want it for free. agree?"

[@swenic]

Sure, send your cv

[@monstercameron]

Can these guys be serious, how many years have they been teasing prosumer hardware???? the market is primed for lower than Nvidia costing solutions!

[@TechTechPotato]

Less than two years really, and it takes at least that long to get a scalable chip into the market.

[@theworddoner]

Can you please sell me an ai inference machine? Something that can do 70 billion parameter large language models at 10 tokens per second. I would like good software support please. My only solution right now is the m1 ultra. I would buy that but I would like alternatives however.
