Today’s LLMs will feel like dial-up internet a decade from now. “5-10 years from now, we're going to laugh at how old-fashioned AI was today.” “I fundamentally don't think that today's technology is what we're going to be talking about 10 years from now.” “For those who are old enough, we still might remember the internet days of the dial-up connection where we had all these bleeping sounds to make connections to the internet, and we kind of laugh at how that's how we did it back in those days.” — IMEC’s Steven Latré

BREAKING: “5 to 10 years from now, we're going to laugh at how old-fashioned AI was today.” Steven Latré is VP of AI at @imec_int, one of the most important semiconductor organizations most people have never heard of. “Almost every chip in the world today has been touched by imec.” The world's biggest chip companies come to imec to work on technologies years before they reach the commercial market. I sat down with Steven & Strike Capital's Adam Chambers in Monaco to talk about what the next decade of AI hardware could look like. We cover: › Why today's AI is still incredibly inefficient › What happens as transistor scaling approaches the limits of physics › Why memory is already becoming a critical constraint › The growing importance of hardware + software co-design › Why photonics could become a “killer technology” for the chips of the future

Industrialising Europe’s decades of investments in innovation, here in the heart of Europe, is a must get right mission!

Photonics CEO Herwig Van Hove says Belgium is surprisingly dominant in photonics: “Between 2000-2015, there were 4,000 peer-reviewed white papers on photonics globally. 35% of them came from the University of Ghent.” “With the exception of Biscoff and chocolate, Belgium has no dominance like that in any other field.”
