Brain vs H100: 86B Neurons vs 80B Transistors in a Physical Ledger
yaroslavvb · x · 2026-09-24
Yaroslav Bulatov is compiling a "numbers you should know" ledger comparing the human brain with an H100: 80B transistors vs 86B neurons, with transistor flips roughly matching the number of synaptic arrivals. The full comparison lives on a spacesheep.dev page published by an AI agent, readable after sign-in or via its MCP server.
