NVIDIA Blackwell과 Hopper를 비교하며 단순 컴퓨트 비용보다 실제 결과 지표가 중요하다고 강조합니다. Blackwell은 FLOPS/$만 보면 약 2배 개선처럼 보이지만, 실제로는 토큰 출력이 50배 이상 높아 AI 인프라 성능 관점에서 큰 차이를 보인다는 내용입니다.

The outcome numbers tell the real story.
Looking only at compute cost misses the story.
Blackwell may appear ~2× more expensive than Hopper.
⚖️ FLOPS/$ suggests ~2× improvement.
But the real outcome is dramatically different for NVIDIA Blackwell:
⚡ >50× higher token output
Allbirds, once beloved by Silicon Valley for its sustainable woollen shoes, is pivoting to AI after selling its shoe business for 39M USD. The company will rebrand as NewBird AI and become a GPU-as-a-Service provider, backed by 50M USD in fresh investment. The dramatic pivot recalls the 2017 Long Island Iced Tea blockchain gambit.

After sale of its shoe business, Allbirds pivots to AI | TechCrunch
Allbirds is ditching wool sneakers for AI servers, rebranding as NewBird AI after locking in a $50M convertible financing facility.
🐦
#Allbirds, the shoe wizards, think they're ready to conquer AI compute infrastructure because, naturally, making wool sneakers is a direct path to tech supremacy. 🧦 They’ve secured $50M, presumably to buy servers that match their ethically sourced laces. 🌱
