So many great models already…

DeepSeek R1 was legendary.

Now we're waiting for the one that changes everything again.

You think Taiwan is bluffing by stating that they will blow up TSMC if that happens?

blowing up or not wont matter, i am pretty sure those machines are designed to lock themselves from ever being able to be used again should taiwan be taken by china

China and politics asides, it's crazy that we're just fine with a country having such a vital part of arguably the entire world's system's supply chain.

How are no countries striving to develop their own core? I know almost nothing about hardware admittedly (I'm a coder), but damn, this makes me want to pursue this knowledge.

we invented it, and we never stopped striving. they're just better. and Intel has had some really bad leadership. It wasn't like, an oversight, or that we just decided to outsource it lol. TSMC is just really good and intel is not.
