Breaking: Nvidia jetson orin chip found in russian S-71M air-launched cruise missile

Nvidia chips continue to be "not a car"

Tweet claiming an Nvidia Jetson Orin chip was found in a Russian S-71M air-launched cruise missile, with a quip about Nvidia chips being 'not a car'. Attached are watermarked photos of a red missile under an aircraft wing and a close-up of a damaged board with a chip bearing Nvidia markings.

I spent the last six months trying to deconstruct Taalas's patents. We think it can be better: 100x fewer memfetches than their bitROM, better software by better quantization than their hardware team could.

So we wrote a compiler that:
> takes a huggingface checkpoint,
> quantizes the model
> descends the weights down metal layers to RTL and GDS, do your DRC, Yosys, PEX, make the electrical waveform execute a mat-vec from your huggingface checkpoint (thanks Cambricon tech papers)

in ~7000 lines of human-readable code.

we're looking for someone with contacts with a foundry/access to 7nm PDKs or contacts at a cheap EuroPTW shuttle? I'm broke and unemployed.

@itsclivetime this is what i think is the future of perplexity per picojoule. @zerohedge @zephyr_z9 you guys wanna see 40,000 tokens/sec?

Below the text are two embedded images of chip layout/routing diagrams (dense grids of colored horizontal and vertical traces in purple, orange, blue, red on dark background), presumably renders of the RTL/GDS output described in the tweet.

Andrew Curran ✓ (@AndrewCurran_) — 16h Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told ASML tonight that the US government believes that one of its ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines may have somehow made its way into China. Senior administration officials said they have evidence that ASML is not acting in good faith. [Embedded article excerpt, white card]: Dutch chip-equipment giant ASML Holding NV is contending with its biggest challenge yet under the Trump administration: In a series of recent meetings, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick outlined concerns to ASML's senior leaders that one of its top-of-the-line machines may have made its way into China, in violation of US-led export restrictions.

News-style tweet with an embedded article excerpt about a diplomatic/export-control dispute between the US Commerce Department and ASML over EUV lithography machine export controls to China.
