Performance-per-watt drives the cost of inference, and cost determines what scales. Meeting this demand requires more than hardware. Developers need software that connects system-level optimization with heterogeneous, disaggregated compute, turning silicon performance into reliable and efficient AI services across accelerators, environments, and use cases.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/05\/04\/mojo-programming-language\/\">Mojo Programming Language<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Lattner: I&rsquo;m excited to share that Qualcomm is acquiring Modular: this will accelerate our path to unifying accelerated compute with an open platform.
