Even if they could generate tokens at that speed on the chip (which maybe they can in theory?) you need to get user tokens onto the chip and the resulting model tokens off again and transport them to the user as well. This means at some point the I/O becomes the bottleneck, not the compute. I also suspect it will get faster still, from the announcement it didn't sound like it's "optimal" yet.


User tokens onto the chip and output tokens out are tiny.


Not if you're serving tens of thousands of users at the same time.


Still tiny at 100,000.
