As the title says. I saw the Grayskull chips go live and am interested in picking one up, but have seen little about how to utilize it for hobby/side project purposes (or even how you would "route" a model to use the unit). Would love to hear from people using them (or planning to use them) and for what.
I seriously considered using Grayskull. My desire was driven by the interest in NeRF and Gaussian Splatting, for training whose the Grayskull arhitecture (at least, on paper) could considerably outperform NVIDIA.<p>I decided against it for three reasons:<p>R1. Grayskull is a chip that they made in 2020 ([1]). They already have 2-3 newer chips generations available internally (Wormhole, Black Hole, Grendel), see [2].<p>R2. The price of the cards is high. It does not look like a too good value, even if judging by paper specs, and then the reality will always correct that down.<p>R3. The primary Tenstorrent founder recently left the company to start a competitor, Taalas, while taking some of the Tenstorrent talent with him ([3]).<p>I decided to wait until at least Wormhole cards available for purchase (hopefully, at a better price), before committing my time and money to Tenstorrent, even if just for exploration.<p>1. <a href="https://insidehpc.com/2020/05/tenstorrent-ships-grayskull-high-performance-ai-processor/" rel="nofollow">https://insidehpc.com/2020/05/tenstorrent-ships-grayskull-hi...</a><p>2. <a href="https://www.semianalysis.com/p/tenstorrent-blackhole-grendel-and" rel="nofollow">https://www.semianalysis.com/p/tenstorrent-blackhole-grendel...</a><p>3. <a href="https://betakit.com/tenstorrent-founder-reveals-new-ai-chip-startup-taalas-with-50-million-in-funding/" rel="nofollow">https://betakit.com/tenstorrent-founder-reveals-new-ai-chip-...</a>
