> Meaning that in a couple of years you may
There is no "may" here. You will see this.
It's always difficult to see it from the present, but we're not at some end stage in hardware development; we're still on the same curve our predecessors also couldn't see: they couldn't imagine that there would be high performance computers carried in our pockets, with staggering amounts of storage and compute, putting to shame the machines they filled rooms with.
Oh yeah the may is on the 2 year time horizon. It could be 3 or 4. Or next year.
Yes, the timelines are highly uncertain, but the AI boom and AI money are reinvigorating the entire fabrication ecosystem from top to bottom and causing innovation where there had only been incremental progress for years. People aren't just thinking about their node schedule and yields: they're pursuing radical new designs with far greater urgency.
That's where OpenAI in a box is going to come from. And it won't take long.
