The author advises giving at least a full year to see results, and notes AMD would be unlikely to boost a Chinese model over US frontier labs as a first move to avoid killing the hands that feed it. The main risk is the longer-than-expected timeline to commercialization.", "thesis_short": "AMD Taalas chip a year out, Meta first", "quote": "I'm not expecting any Taalas chip incoming that soon.
