Discussing the connection limits of massive compute clusters:
- In the scale-up dimension, the reply mentions 8192 chips, contrasting it with Nvidia's 72 to imply a much larger connection scale.
- In the scale-out dimension, 500K is mentioned as the maximum scale.
- Tone-wise, it responds to whether this represents the theoretical limit for super-node/cluster connections, concluding that even so, it is still "more than two generations behind Nvidia."
