Engineers Debate Two-Month Custom Chip Timeline
Prime Intellect engineers exchange replies on X about reaching high performance on a new custom chip.
Sami Jaghouar replied to Elie Bakouch that two months is not a long period for high performance on a custom new chip. He pointed to slow progress reaching top performance on k3 hardware even on common platforms. Bakouch countered that two months for infinite token plus GPT Astra without guardrails still seems high. Both work at Prime Intellect on distributed training and LLM projects. The exchange appears among visible replies discussing an OpenAI-related post.

samsja@samsja19@eliebakouch I don't think that two months is a lot for "high performance" on a custom new chip, look at even how slow it is for reaching top perf on k3 on the most common hardware
