I think the downvotes are because people expected you to know Grok is a software LLM where Groq is a hardware scheme on which to run LLMs, or that Groq came out about 7 years before Grok so the "homage" is the reverse, i.e. Elon possibly paying to Groq. Groq was chosen as homage to Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" which invented the word "Grok" to mean "to understand deeply and intuitively" but also eating a dead loved one ("Resident Alien" on Netflix did that this year). Elon just used the English word directly like "Windows" and "Apple". Not using the word directly like "Groq" makes internet searches easier for everyone.

BTW Heinlein described prompt engineering of an LLM perfectly throughout the opening chapter of his * 1966 * book "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". The "engineer" even admits he had no hard-core "engineering" training because capitalizing on the new technology didn't need it. The chapter could have been written today.

When you start using Samsung 4 nm are you switching from SRAM to HDM? If yes, how's that going to affect all the metrics given that SRAM is so much faster? Someone said you'll eventually move to HDM because SRAM improvements is relatively stalled.

I read an article that indicated your Bill Of Materials compared to NVidia's is 10x to get 1/10 the latency, and 8x BOM for throughput if Nvidia optimizes for throughput? Does this seem accurate? That CAPEX is the primary drawback?

Quieter means more energy is possibly available for more thrust. I noticed SpaceX rockets sound a LOT more quiet and smooth compared to older rocket videos. Notice upward tilting winglets on the tip of large airplane wings these days are to reduce the same vortices that are seen on propellers (wings work on same principle as propellers) in order to be more efficient and more quiet is just a side effect.

Be careful of the boat propellor claims. For example, they filmed the regular prop in slow motion to hide that it was going at a much faster speed that caused more cavitation to make it look worse. Also when they claimed it needed a LOT less steering, I'm extremely skeptical because that should be mostly caused by the boat riding higher in the water at a faster speed. Also they disabled comments on videos. https://youtu.be/_KkIqC7arnU?t=74
