No. Max is an entire compute platform designed around deploying LLMs at scale. And Mojo takes a Python syntax (it’s a superset) but reimplements the entire compiler so you (or the compiler on your behalf) can target all the new AI compute hardware that’s almost literally popped up overnight. Modular is the company that raised 130MM dollars in under 2 years to make these two plays happen. And Nvidia is on fire right now. I can assure you without a sliver of a doubt that humans are most certainly redesigning entire computing hardware and the systems atop to accommodate AI. Look at the WWDC Keynote this year if you need more evidence.

Sure it's made to accommodate AI or more generally fast vector/matrix math. But the original claim was about "people surely aren’t going to design systems that cater to the current versions of LLMs." Those solutions are way more generic than current or future versions of LLMs. Once LLMs die down a bit, the same setups will be used for large scale ML/research unrelated to languages.
