"Swift for TensorFlow rethinks machine learning development ... I imagined, advocated for, coded the initial prototype and many of the subsystems after that; recruited, hired and trained an exceptional engineering team; we drove it to an open source launch and are continuing to build out and iterate on infrastructure."

Can we get some examples where the dominant cofounder was the reason why the business did not succeed? These success stories reference generally smart and savvy executives.

Intel knows better than anyone that they need to sell a roadmap, not a chip. Who’s going to put in a large advance order on a bunch of future silicon that may get cancelled as well?

What’s not inside the Summit Supercomputer speaks volumes: Intel.

Knights Landing/Hill/Mill is simply not compelling; Omni-Path was created as an infiniband knockoff that doesn’t beat Mellanox. The Cray Gemini/Aries interconnects can be found all over the top of the list (and the Intel acquisition of those interconnects happened in 2012), but you don’t see Omni-Path replacing anything.

Meanwhile, Nvidia comes out with NVLink and begins to build small clusters of GPUs connected by larger networks containing IBM and Mellanox. A vacuum was created, and IBM and Mellanox moved (back) in.
