EE jokes about AI progress chart: training compute growing 10.6 dB per year

jwt0625 · x · 2026-11-11

An EE-background poster shares a chart plotting AI training compute in decibels: doubling every 7.1 months (10.6 dB/year) in the large-scale era, 5.7 months in the deep learning era, and near-Moore's-law 22 months before that. He jokes the last time he saw dB/year curves was in an IEEE 802.3 presentation on CPC connector insertion loss.
