The race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is accelerating, powered by ever-larger and more capable LLMs. But as these models scale, we are hitting the physical limits of general-purpose GPUs. Memory access is now slower and more energy-hungry than computation itself. Power demands are straining datacenter infrastructure. And as models span more chips, interconnect delays—not […]
