Blackwell 26,596 times more powerful than our 8 Intel MOSIPS? At Computex 2024, Jensen Huang unveiled the roadmap for Blackwell, promising a future of accelerated computing architectures that redefine our expectations. These advancements are set to elevate AI capabilities to unprecedented levels. Our A7Technology MOSIPS system, powered by 8 Intel NUC computers, delivers 752 GFLOPS, with each system offering 94 GFLOPS. This impressive setup, however, pales in comparison to the capabilities of the new Blackwell B200 GPU. The B200 not only doubles the transistor count of the current H100 but also delivers an astounding 20 petaflops of AI performance from a single GPU, compared to the H100's 4 petaflops. The B200's 192GB of HBM3e memory and 8 TB/s bandwidth are equally impressive, showcasing how scaling is driving AI capabilities to new heights. This leap in performance is a significant phase shift, surpassing the limits of Moore's law and pushing the boundaries of what we thought possible with CPU architectures. To put this in perspective, a single Blackwell B200 GPU's 20 petaflops make it approximately 26,596 times more powerful than our current system's 752 GFLOPS, which uses eight of the latest Intel CPUs. These breakthroughs in parallel architectures are not just incremental improvements; they represent a monumental leap in AI capability and power, setting the stage for the next era of technological advancement.

"The best trigger for anticipation isn't necessarily past behavior, though that's part of it," says CEO Michael Treff. "But now with AI we're using intelligence that used to be used to export something predictive to now export something that is more thoughtful in what you might want because it's not based on what you've done in the past, but on the signals you're sending it to know." He joins 5-time CMO and host of CMO Confidential, Mike Linton to discuss the nuances of AI anticipation versus reaction and much more.

The AI Wave Is More Than Just Compute: Why Networking Companies Are Set to Explode 💥 A recent article in Barron's highlights the critical role of networking infrastructure in the development of #AI. As AI systems grow to accommodate an endless amount of compute, it becomes crucial to make the next leap in networking to support efficient data sharing and increasingly demanding performance requirements. While companies like NVIDIA have dominated the AI chip market, the Barron's article emphasizes that the AI wave extends far beyond just compute, mentioning networking companies such as Broadcom, Cisco, Arista Networks, and Marvell Technology that will play an even more critical role in the AI revolution. At Pitango First, we've never been shy about taking bold bets on the next revolution, stemming from our analysis of where data center and data technologies will evolve. Our thesis for #The_New_AI_Stack focuses on critical layers that will be disrupted as AI takes a major share of the workloads. We’re proud to be first backers in Speedata.io (compute), Volumez (storage), and DriveNets (networking) - and we’re true believers in the immense opportunity ahead. As the AI landscape continues to evolve, we believe that those companies will have a critical role. Pitango is committed to supporting companies that are shaping the future of AI infrastructure.
