Nvidia blog says Blackwell GPUs power GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast
An Nvidia blog post quotes OpenAI's inference lead saying Astra can write high-performance GPU kernels and that Ultrafast gives faster agent responses.
OH SNAP. Nvidia wrote a blog post on how Blackwell GPUs are powering GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast with a quote from OpenAI inference lead. Where you at @cerebras ? “NVIDIA’s deep investment in tooling and documentation has enabled us to make our models exceptionally good at programming Blackwell and Rubin GPUs,” said Philippe Tillet, inference lead at OpenAI. “Astra can turn that knowledge into high-performance kernels that make NVIDIA hardware compelling across the full frontier of latency, throughput and cost. With Astra Ultrafast, that means faster model responses as agents write code, use tools and work through complex tasks.” “Our work with NVIDIA is helping us make AI faster and more useful,” said Uday Ruddarraju, chief technology officer of compute at OpenAI." https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/gpus-openai-gpt-6-astra-ultrafast/?ncid=so-twit-351193
