Nvidia struggles to hire RL talent from Anthropic, highlighting chipmakers' reinforcement learning gap
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-04
teortaxesTex amplifies a discussion on whether Nvidia and AMD can replicate frontier-lab-grade RL post-training. Patrick Toulme argues it's far harder than it sounds, as those chipmakers lack deep RL engineering experience. When asked whether Anthropic also lacks experience calibrating to real silicon, Toulme notes Anthropic can easily hire such people from Nvidia — the talent flow works one way, making it structurally hard for chipmakers to build RL capability.
