Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Doing Alex.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Alex net, right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And the major breakthrough.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And, um,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And the world has changed, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so now the challenge is that TensorFlow, PyTorch, these systems, they weren't actually designed for LLMs.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

That was not a thing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so where TensorFlow actually has amazing power in terms of scale and deployment and things like that, and I think Google is...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I mean, maybe not unmatched, but they're like incredible in terms of their capabilities and gigantic scale.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Many researchers using PyTorch, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so PyTorch doesn't have those same capabilities.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so what modular can do is it can help with that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Now, if you take a step back and you say like, what is modular doing, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So modular has like a bitter enemy that we're fighting against in the industry.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And it's one of these things where everybody knows it, but nobody is usually willing to talk about it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

The bitter enemy.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

The bitter thing that we have to destroy, that we're all struggling with, and it's like fish can't see water, is complexity.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Sure.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yes.
