I'd like to know more. I expect these systems are 8xvh1782. Is that true? What's the theoretical math throughput - my expectation is that it isn't very high per chip. How is performance in the prefill stage when inference is actually math limited?
i was a software guy, sorry, but those token rates are correct and what was flowing through my software.

i believe there was a special deal on super special fpgas. there were dsps involved.
