Chris Lattner announced that Modular and Qualcomm are releasing an open, unified standard to catalyze heterogeneous compute, betting that future datacenters will be filled with chips from multiple vendors. The release includes a blog post and an all-day tutorial track at the LLVM Developer Meeting, with more code and content to follow. Lattner argues AI extends far beyond the datacenter into everyday life, and a unified standard keeps multi-vendor silicon competitive.
