I mean Jeff Dean is probably more ML researcher than probably 90% of the ML researchers out there. Sure, he may not be working on state of the art stuff himself; but he's too up the chain to do that.
- dogleg77 2y agoThat's an appeal to authority, and not an effective one. Jeff Dean doesn't have a good track record in chip design.
- wholehog 2y agoWhat are you even talking about? Jeff had a hand in TPU, which is so successful that all other AI companies are trying to clone this project and spin up their own efforts to make custom AI chips.

- otterley 2y agoBy what measure are TPUs “successful”? Where is your data coming from?
- cosentiyes 2y agoThey're the only non-nvidia accelerator used to train state of the art large language models at scale?
- otterley 2y agoAWS Trainium does as well: https://aws.amazon.com/ai/machine-learning/trainium/ https://aws.amazon.com/ai/machine-learning/trainium/
- dogleg77 2y agoPlease specify what you mean by "had a hand in TPU" and where else he had his hand. Thank you
