There is a fairly new ASIC named "Sohu" that is purpose-built for transformers. They have some bold claims that are impressive if true.

I found a short discussion[2] you may find useful.

sason··on Authlib: Python Authentication
Allowing users to register to your app using another service (e.g. Facebook, Spotify, Google) requires OAuth. That’s what I use authlib for, anyways. It simplifies the OAuth process so much that I don’t have to think about the authentication process when designing an app.
sason··on Universal Speech Model
80x faster than Whisper is an incredible feat. How is Deepgram's transcription accuracy?

Also, have you heard of Conformer-1 by Assembly-AI[1]? It released a few days ago and supposedly scored higher than Whisper on various benchmarks.

sason··on Anki and GPT-3
Can you explain your process in more depth?

What stage of the project are you on? How can I track or contribute? I would love to see this come to fruition.

sason··on Writing Snake in 12 Lines of PyTorch
It was an enjoyable and enlightening read. Now I’m thinking how I can rewrite my tile-based path-finding RL project to utilize more Tensors and less for loops.

Well done! I’m looking forward to reading how you concurrently ran 100 million mini snake games.
