$QCOM buying Modular was about more than adding another AI asset. I sat down with Modular CEO Chris Lattner and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano R. Amon on why the industry needs a better software model for heterogeneous compute and how Qualcomm + Modular intend to attack it. If they can... make it dramatically easier for developers to target CPUs, GPUs and accelerators without being locked into a single architecture, this could matter a lot.show more

@Modular @clattner_llvm @cristianoamon @Qualcomm 很有潜力，继续观察

@Modular @clattner_llvm @cristianoamon @Qualcomm 硬件拼得差不多了，软件栈才是最难啃的那块。

@Modular @clattner_llvm @cristianoamon @Qualcomm @PatrickMoorhead How can you claim 50% faster inference than current solutions on third party HW but the only name that comes out is Qualcomm?

@Modular @clattner_llvm @cristianoamon @Qualcomm Where you getting this?

@Modular @clattner_llvm @cristianoamon @Qualcomm @PatrickMoorhead Apologies, didn't mean you exactly. That was @Modular's Series C claim, 20-50% gains over the latest vLLM and SGLang on B200 and MI355. With Mojo and MAX open-sourced at ModCon, what did the $4B actually buy? Curious if Amon answered that in your sit-down.

@Modular @clattner_llvm @cristianoamon @Qualcomm Essentially, why does Qualcomm keep funding work that just makes NVIDIA and AMD faster?

@Modular @clattner_llvm @cristianoamon @Qualcomm Ahhh. Good question. They’re going for the platform play which ultimately helps their home grown silicon have a real software platform.
