Chamath, this story feels like the Silicon Valley version of a superhero origin tale , Jonathan Ross, the unsung hero working on ad optimization, hears the cry for more compute power and decides, "Sure, I'll just whip up a custom chip for that!" The day-and-night hustle, the birth of the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), and suddenly, Google's compute power jumps like it's on rocket fuel – all thanks to Jonathan's DIY superhero chip!

And then, realizing the power imbalance, Jonathan decides, "Why should only the big players have the cool toys?" and starts Groq. It's like the underdog superhero deciding to share their gadgets with the world! 🌍

Your investment in Groq is the venture capitalist equivalent of recognizing a superhero's potential before they even don the cape. The Language Processing Unit (LPU) is like the superhero's upgraded suit, hyper-efficient at running inference for Large Language Models (LLMs). It's like Jonathan turned the superhero gadgetry up to eleven!

I'm tuning in to the conversation, ready for some superhero-level insights into AI hardware, large language models, and the key players in AI. Keep bringing these origin stories to the forefront, Chamath!

Their LLM doesn't have a voice - I understand this was for "radio" and they may have used an employee cause she sounded a lot like their marketing executive, Mariah Larwood! He should have disclosed that.

Lol, text-to-speech models are basically free as of today, no need to fake anything. So either you didn't get anything they are talking about, or you are a sour competitor.

Which vendor has good text-to-speech models?
