## About
TLDR

Steven Latré is Head of AI (former IMEC) at OpenChip (https://techwiki.ai/companies/openchip/llms.txt). ## Background

The second half is an interview with Steven Latré, who left IMEC to become head of AI at OpenChip, an 11-month-old Catalan-rooted European AI chip scale-up with 175 employees aiming to compete with Nvidia on sustainable, safe and scalable AI. Latré details the exploding compute demand of AI (models growing 100x per year, agents multiplying inference cost another 100x, 'sleep time compute'), the ecological cost (GPT-3 training used ~700,000 liters of water; datacenters could grow from ~100 TWh to 6-20x that in a decade), and argues datacenters must be treated as critical national infrastructure sited near energy sources. He advocates 'AI at multiple speeds' with pricing that internalizes environmental cost, dismisses AGI by 2027 ('there is no path to AGI' with language models alone, citing Moravec's paradox and Yann LeCun), and ends with practical tips: be sparing with deep research features and don't say thank you to chatbots.
