Interesting direction from Huawei at ISCAS 2026. The proposed “τ Scaling” approach moves beyond traditional transistor shrinking and focuses more on reducing latency and improving efficiency across chips, interconnects, and AI systems. Concepts like LogicFolding, hybrid

RDUs deliver high tokens per kilowatt-hour for AI inference
By
–
AI infrastructure doesn’t have to mean massive power draw.
— SambaNova (@SambaNovaAI) 22 mai 2026
Our RDUs deliver the highest tokens per kilowatt-hour, helping reduce deployments with ~10kW average power consumption.
More inference. Less energy. 🦾

Apple’s OS/Hardware synergy could extend to LLM performance
By
–
Just thinking aloud: Apple systems performance is better because they own both the OS and hardware. Likewise if they own llm + harness layer, performance might improve.

Compute limits will favor agentic AI over chatbots
By
–
We are quite short of compute, and that is going to result in compute becoming very expensive for complex agentic workflows even as single-turn chatbots get cheaper. So the richest companies & most pressing use cases will use AI agents & everyone else will be stuck with chatbots?

Cerebras Inference Speed Performance Across Model Types
By
–
"As people began integrating AI into their day-to-day work, speed became fundamentally important. And we were just crushed with demand. Is Cerebras inference faster for specific use cases? No, it's faster across the board. Big models, small models, U.S. models, Chinese models,
