- Dylan Patel argues Meta Infrastructure is wasting silicon through narrow optimizations that look defensible locally but are bad for the company overall.
- He names Rivos, DSF, Grand Teton, Ariel, and the cut-down MI450X as examples of decisions that may have made sense for a specific internal metric.
- The broader point, echoed in the quoted SemiAnalysis thread, is that Meta’s infra org has become bloated and over-engineered, and that this culture is costing the company billions.
