Welcome to Compute Node. We deliver engineering-focused breakdowns of the modern AI computing stack — from silicon architecture and custom ASICs to hyperscaler cloud economics and distributed systems. Modern AI isn't just about software; it runs on physical hardware, energy constraints, and complex cost structures. We unpack what powers the frontier models: Silicon & Hardware: Deep dives into custom AI accelerators, GPU clusters, tapeouts, HBM, and packaging technologies. Inference & Training Architecture: Benchmarks, throughput-per-watt metrics, latency trade-offs, and compiler optimizations. AI Economics: The real cost of intelligence — token pricing, grounding overhead, context caching, and data center infrastructure. No hype, no buzzwords. Just technical analysis, architectural blueprints, and data-backed explainers. Subscribe to keep your finger on the pulse of AI compute.
