Sell offs don't have to happen, and $25m isn't some small amount of money.

It doesn't scale, and won't ever be profitable. They pivoted to inference, which has the unfortunate (for them) side effect of also requiring a boat load of memory. This is why they just partnered with AMD to offload onto their chips.

Ah, investor. Explains your responses.

it kind of is, relatively - sean might just be having a galaxy blackhole supercluster installed at home for all we know

> It doesn't scale .. They pivoted to inference

they have more options than non-wafer-scale solutions, the chips are going 3d and meanwhile they benefit from the same interconnect progress as the wholly memory-bound alternatives

Not supporting GPs argument, but one can appreciate the t/s on cerebras.ai without being an investor.
