How come there’s ASICs for mining but not AI? Seems like there would be almost unlimited demand


There is. It does 16k tokens per second. https://chatjimmy.ai/


Weren't the Google TPU stuff that already? Wikipedia says that's from a decade ago.


Mining is all compute and no IO. Training particularly is heavy compute and insane IO.


They've been putting TPUs in processors for a while now.


There are asics for ai. They're called gpus / tpus.
