Compute Demand Unpeaked: 100M Robots Running LLMs Live
inductionheads · x · 2026-07-17
- Compute is not a bubble: Societal demand for compute has permanently increased, and we are not in a compute bubble.
- The compute challenge of embodied intelligence: If there are 100 million robots in the future, each requiring a 1-trillion-parameter (1T) multimodal model to run locally in real time, the scale of compute required will be astronomical.
