#OpenAI’s #Jalapeño, a self-designed #ASIC for #LLMinference, outperforms #Nvidia’s #Blackwell and other competitors in #tokenthroughput per watt. Built with Broadcom, the chip uses HBM4 memory and a generalised architecture, excelling in both low-latency and high-throughput scenarios. While comparisons to Blackwell are incomplete, Jalapeño’s performance against Vera Rubin, which also uses HBM4, is noteworthy. https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/openai-jalapeno-better-than-nvidia?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

[Перевод] OpenAI Jalapeño: Персональный чип OpenAI, который обогнал NVIDIA Blackwell

OpenAI создает свой чип Jalapeño: конец монополии Nvidia на инференс? SemiAnalysis выпустили разбор собственной аппаратной разработки OpenAI под кодовым названием Jalapeño. Пока все обсуждали закупки тысяч GPU Nvidia Blackwell, команда Сэма Альтмана совместно с Broadcom втайне проектировала специализированный ASIC на техпроцессе TSMC N3P, заточенный исключительно под инференс моделей масштаба GPT-4.5 и GPT-5.

Deepfake Anthony Albanese used in celebrity scams duping Australians out of $7.4m, Asic warns

Australia’s corporate watchdog says PM is the figure most commonly used in deepfakes to promote phony investment opportunities

I'm finally back home after an exciting HeiChips Summer School 2026. https://heichips.github.io/
One week filled with loads of enthusiasm and energy for open-source chip design! 🎉

The program includes lectures and workshops, as well as a final two-day hackathon, through which participants gained hands-on experience with the tools and PDK.

Interesting move by AMD:
https://www.servethehome.com/amd-to-acquire-taalas-for-model-specific-ai-inference-chips/

Basically yet another iteration of the "if software is too slow, make it hardware" continuum. This time a AMD acquisition turns LLMs into single-model-chips.

Curious to see if and how this will play out to commercial usability and on what type of model.

Also:

• Might we even see coprocessor boards with exchangeable model chips?
• What will the energy consumptions of those look like compared to the full generals purpose inference runner setups?

📚🤔 Oh, sure! Let's just casually reverse-engineer an #ASIC in our spare time—because that's totally what normal people do, right? Let's just ignore the fact that it's like trying to unravel a ball of yarn that's been tangled by a hyperactive kitten. 🙄💻

Одна страничка для ответа на вопросы про FPGA и рассыпуху на городских ярмарках

На всяких народных гуляниях типа MakerFaire и OpenSauce меня постоянно спрашивают при виде FPGA “Это Ардуино / Raspberry Pi?” Причем когда я отвечаю “нет”, у людей появляется выражение лица будто я им нагрубил. Я раньше не понимал, с чем это связано, но теперь думаю, что цель такого вопроса - просто показать свою эрудицию, а я эту цель обламываю. Кроме этого минимум у одной дамы было такое выражение лица, что она наверное подумала, что я сумасшедший. Теперь при использований микросхем малой степени интеграции появляется второй вопрос “разве все эти микросхемы не устарели и не были заменены Ардуино?” Короче для Technology Showcase в Mountain View в этот четверг я решил сделать вот такую одну страничку и просто молча давать ее людям, которые задают эти два вопроса. Первая сторона:

Banks charged mortgage holders $55m in extra interest after offset account errors, Asic finds

My KianV RISC-V ASIC is booting mainline Linux with SDRAM.

Everything was developed from scratch.

The board was made by
@machdyne
 , and he also did the bring-up. Huge thanks to him!

Damn... a 32-bit Linux machine running on my own ASIC.

My wafer.space FABulous FPGA is alive! 👏

This chip was part of wafer.space Run 1 (https://github.com/wafer-space/ws-run1), which taped out at the end of last year.

The video below shows the FPGA starting up and pulsing the two onboard RGB LEDs.
If the video doesn't play, you can also view it on PeerTube: https://makertube.net/w/fBWTsw5hSzG7AaeEb9tMCn

MLIR-to-RTL simulation flow: от linalg.matmul до systolic array

Привет! Хотел бы рассказать о своем MVP проекта hw-mlir-lab , где я использую MLIR для lowering операции умножения матриц ( matmul ) на systolic array, который я симулирую в Verilator.

And the security breech (Courts transcription service outsourced to Indian company) gets even bigger… how did they not see this coming? A: Poor or non-existant contract and operations oversight. A typical result from the #Privatisation of what ought to be a publically owned and operated service.

“Earlier this year, embattled transcription company VIQ Solutions breached its Commonwealth contract with the Federal Court by allowing highly sensitive court files to be accessed offshore in India.

The company is now being wound down and was removed from AusTender as an approved supplier by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) on March 19.

However, 13 government agencies have used VIQ Solutions since 2019, including the Department of Defence, Services Australia, the ATO and even the Attorney-General's Department, broadening the risk of potential breaches.”

Как ИИ портит резюме студентам

Сейчас студенты поголовно пишут резюме с помощью ИИ, и ИИ поголовно делает им интересное западло: оно вставляет им среди рабочих навыков SVA, то есть SystemVerilog Assertions (ниже я расскажу что это). При виде SVA в резюме я тут же прошу кандидата написать некий простейший SVA на три строчки, и начинается извивание ужа на сковородке:
