Welcome, humans, to The Neuron Podcast.

I'm Corey Knowles, as always, joined by the one and only Grant Harvey, who writes The Neuron every day.

Today, we're going to talk AI infrastructure and whatever else comes to mind with Tim Davis, co-founder and president of Modular.

It's a company that has raised $250 million to change how AI runs on hardware.

Tim, welcome to The Neuron.

Well, I guess to start out, you're with Modular, and I understand that you and your co-founder are both from Google Brain, right?

Shopping on Amazon.

Yeah.

All right, so if you're building anything in AI right now, whether it's models, tools, workflows, you're going to want to hear about this.

Dell just dropped something that's honestly in a league all of its own.

The Dell Pro Max with GB10.

That GB stands for Grace Blackwell, which is NVIDIA's next generation architecture.

And here's why you're going to care about that.

This machine looks small, but it's a powerhouse.

You're getting 128 gigs of unified LPDDR5X memory, super low latency, and the brand new NVIDIA GB10 module, which lets you run local inferencing on models all the way up to 200 billion parameters, which is insane.

No cloud queues, no sky-high compute costs, just your own parameters.

Personal AI is sitting right there on your desk waiting for you.

And here's the wild part.

If you need to go bigger, you can connect two Dell Pro Max units together using the ConnectX 7 SmartNIC and 200 gig networking to scale your workloads bigger.

It's seamless, fast, and designed for serious AI development.
