With progressive layer by layer distillation Apple can make aggressive changes in architecture, all while letting Google take all the blame for the piracy.

I think there is a lot of potential to improve architectures for local, beyond MoE and what Apple "pioneered" with LLM in a Flash (the low rank predictor approach was actually first described in a paper from 2013 they didn't cite). Google's spark transformer for instance is already far more elegant than MoE and low rank predictors, beyond that there is also unexplored potential of forced temporal coherence in the active set.

Only Apple and Tiny AI are likely to truly push sparsity in production. Going beyond MoE with sparsity and being forced to accept low single digit percentage compute utilisation during training on NVIDIA's expensive HBM based GPUs is too counter-intuitive for most researchers to accept, even if they really should.

LOL.

It's counted under Foreign Direct Investment, take it up with economists.

Please mr Microsoft, don't keep breaking our laws ... we won't sue, but please stop. Maybe we didn't pay enough attention to Trump's balls while sucking him off?

If Microsoft did this to an US agency, their management would be in court for treason.

For one year the investment is added to GDP, eventually it turns negative but for developing countries it's still a good deal.

For developed nations, foreign investment is mostly only beneficial to the investors, because they can venue shop in disputes.

You'd think they would hide a joystick under the cupholders for emergencies.

The Micron 1 gamma memory factory.

If the Micron's 1 US memory factory had been in production already, it would have happened. A sudden 10x increase in margins and leverage will get any worker moving.

It will be interesting to see what happens at CXMT ... will Xi put the workers in tiger chairs for their bosses? Probably, but there is enough money on the line they might fight any way.

They all say they use NAND like processing. In 3D NAND the full stack of alternating layers is created first, it's literally impossible to use lithography on the internal layers beyond what comes from on top. As far as high resolution goes, that's just the holes.

https://semiengineering.com/3d...

There's an old paper which title catches the essence of 3D NAND well ... "3D memory: etch is the new litho".

PS. I'm ignoring the logic, but that's not repeated with the cell layers.

Another one from IMEC.

The destructive streaming reads makes it fundamentally different from normal DRAM, but works fine for large matmuls (ie. AI).

NAND 3D flash has only one high resolution exposure, for the entire stack of storage layers. The per layer litho for the staircase contacts is low resolution. Cells which can be formed in similar manner have been proposed for DRAM.

I have my doubts it can actually work reliably, would be nice though.

Ideally there's a 3D memory breakthrough soon. DRAM made like flash would reduce production cost to a fraction (ie. one exposure for 100's of storage layers, it's not the 3D part which is important but the fact it takes only one exposure).

US has proposed laws to not only ban ASML from selling China DUV scanners but even servicing what's already there. Would be the end of China's memory and flash fabs.

Though that would likely push China into a full on trade war, catapult flash prices into the stratosphere, and hell might even get EU to get into a tradewar with the US. EU is cowardly, but even they will have a breaking point. It comes on top of the tariffs, alternative forms of protectionism and the ICC shenanigans.

I should have asked why the OpenAI non profit would give those people equity instead, they are probably making the decision. Still, it's a bit of a handout. If they were just given profit shares in the public company they would almost certainly be worth far less.
