@LinQingV: When exploring LLM inference chip architectures previously, I reviewed the architectures of the four major AI inference ASIC companies: Groq, SambaNova, Tenstorrent, and Cerebras. While the first three have different emphases, their underlying logic falls within the same framework: large on-chip SRAM + dataflow architecture + deterministic scheduling...
