OpenAI says AI accelerated Jalapeño chip work, but has not quantified the share News
OpenAI says its models accelerated design, verification and post-silicon optimization for the Jalapeño inference chip, which reached tape-out in nine months with Broadcom support, but it has not disclosed how much of the work AI performed.
Why temperature zero is not deterministic Lesson
Setting temperature to zero makes a model always pick its highest-scoring next token, but it does not make the model return the same answer twice, because batching, floating-point arithmetic, and expert routing change the scores themselves between runs.
AI is learning a 'dark art' that even expert engineers struggle with News
Designing radio-frequency chips is so reliant on hard-won physical intuition that engineers call it a dark art - and now AI is starting to do it, a sign the automation frontier is moving into deep specialist craft.
