AWhat changed
Combined wafer-scale sparse compute, distributed on-wafer SRAM and a programmable mesh with custom power delivery, cooling and graph compilation in the WSE/CS system family.
Scientific scope
Combined wafer-scale sparse compute, distributed on-wafer SRAM and a programmable mesh with custom power delivery, cooling and graph compilation in the WSE/CS system family. Bundles2019 WSE and2021 WSE-2/CS-2 systems rather than counting every chip generation. Provider-reported architecture, capacity and performance are not independent comparisons; models must fit or use explicit partitioning/streaming. Claims of supporting every neural algorithm, universal GPU inferiority or unlimited model residence are not adopted. Corporate authorship retained without attributing the chip to release-page writers.
