Investor confidence. They have a bit of a need for cash (also an interesting part of the profitability discussion of course).

I agree. Jimmy is incredible, I wonder what non-toy use cases they have. Surely they’ll come out with updated chips soon.

That said, I was apparently a bit over-excited for Groq and Cerebras. I thought they’d quickly dethrone Nvidia for inference, but not so far. Even the GPT spark trial isn’t seeming to go far.
