“I always say it's similar to how San Francisco thought it didn't have enough taxi drivers, and then we realized we have so many taxi drivers if you just build Uber. The focus right now is on EUV-heavy fabs. We're saying we can take existing older-node fabs and use them to make chips that are actually superior to the advanced-node chips. That doesn't mean we can't use EUV; we just invent on an orthogonal axis to shrinking transistors.”

Asked what it buys a chip startup not to depend on scarce extreme ultraviolet lithography tools, Kepler Computing's CEO argues the chip shortage is partly a shortage of imagination about what older fabs can produce.
…how do you go 3d inside a chip how do you go 3d between chips and how do you use those technologies to increase memory capacity but also bring memory and compute much closer together while avoiding uh you know conventional like you know issues with with thermals and and and and things like this
prakash asked about manufacturing do new materials need a new process and what does it buy you not to depend on extreme ultraviolet lithography the euv tools everyone is short of
great question so i think uh this is a huge thing this is like uh you know always say it's similar to how the world thought it didn't have enough taxi drivers like san francisco thought it didn't have enough taxi drivers and then we realize oh we have so many taxi drivers if you just build uber so you know not to not to undermine the fab
shortage uh chip capacity sort of manufacturing shortage but um the the the the focus right now is on sort of euv heavy fabs um the expensive they're complex more complex you know uh processes and we're saying that we can take existing older node fabs and we can use them to make chips that are…
and scale this up inside of a manufacturing process. So, it's really all upside once you have the stuff working. Part four, Act One. Samvit Ramadurgam co-founded Forge, the marketplace for pre-IPO stock. His new company, Union, is building an agent that brokers deals across markets: introductions…
I think that over the next five years, I think you guys have probably really bought into this. The world is going to get very interesting, and there's going to be a lot of surprises that come from the capabilities of AI. I think we're seeing this right now with mathematics. It's completely…
