This week I’m speaking with Rodrgo Liang, CEO at SambaNova Systems, Softbank-backed full stack AI startup that creates specialised AI chips and software to sell to enterprises.

He’s a former head of engineering at Oracle and HP and holds a masters from Stanford University in Electrical Engineering.

In the show we discuss all things chips - from CPUs, to GPUs, to RDUs and everything in between. We also cover the chip manufacturing supply chain, TSMC, and why designing and building them is so incredibly difficult.
