From TPU to Your Own Custom Silicon: A Founder's Journey
How AI hardware choices make or break a startup: GPU shortages, cloud versus owned clusters, custom chips, and what each option really costs founders.
Surviving the GPU Apocalypse: A Founder's Guide to the Shortage
How AI hardware choices make or break a startup: GPU shortages, cloud versus owned clusters, custom chips, and what each option really costs founders.
The 6 AI Infrastructure Mistakes That Are Secretly Killing Your Startup
Six costly AI infrastructure errors: betting only on NVIDIA, dismissing custom silicon, one data center, the wrong cloud, no GPU plan, ignoring inference.
15 Lessons on Building a Custom AI Chip
How AI hardware choices make or break a startup: GPU shortages, cloud versus owned clusters, custom chips, and what each option really costs founders.

Building the world's largest AI chips for training and inference at unprecedented scale.
Why the Future of AI Is Not in the Cloud 338
How AI hardware choices make or break a startup: GPU shortages, cloud versus owned clusters, custom chips, and what each option really costs founders.
The Counterintuitive Truth About AI Chip Design 869
The best chip fits the workload; it is not the fastest. Custom silicon like TPUs, Trainium and Dojo, edge chips, data center co-design and the talent gap.
Endolith — Portfolio Company | Angel Investment by Sahin Boydas
Advanced materials and nanotechnology for industrial applications.
Edge AI vs. Cloud AI: The Ultimate Showdown for Developers
Cloud GPUs bring cost and latency real-time AI can't afford; edge AI cuts both. Where TPUs, custom silicon and quantum computing fit in a hardware plan.
The Top 7 AI Hardware Trends to Watch in 2027
How AI hardware choices make or break a startup: GPU shortages, cloud versus owned clusters, custom chips, and what each option really costs founders.
Why the Future of AI Is Not in the Cloud 232
Cloud AI is a good start and a costly finish: GPU bottlenecks, data gravity pulling compute to the edge, and why custom silicon like TPUs points the way.
I Ditched the Cloud for Bare Metal and My Bill Dropped 62%
Cloud AI pays a hypervisor tax; bare metal gives direct hardware access and more performance. When to switch, and why custom silicon comes next.
The Counterintuitive Truth About AI Chip Design
The GPU shortage forced leaner AI, custom silicon is costly and slow, and edge chips are rising. The right hardware for the problem beats the fastest chip.
The Counterintuitive Truth About AI Chip Design 340
More GPUs rarely fix the problem: fit hardware to the job, weigh custom ASICs when stock chips fall short, watch edge AI, skip the TPU and quantum hype.
