Prediction: next-gen inference chips will make frontier models viable real-time robot policies

- The author predicts that within 1-2 years, fast inference on future chips (e.g. Cerebras WSE-5/6 or next-gen Etched) will make general-purpose frontier models viable as real-time robot policies without task-specific training — think GPT-8-class models at 10k–100k tok/s per stream.
- They tested something recently that blew their mind and argue latency, not throughput, is the bigger bottleneck today.
