Taalas HC1: 17,000 tokens/sec on Llama 3.1 8B vs Nvidia H200's 233 tokens/sec. 73x faster at one-tenth the power. Each chip runs ONE model, hardwired into the transistors.
Companies are replacing entry-level coding positions with AI tools, creating a dangerous gap in the talent pipeline. If no one trains the next generation of developers, who will maintain and build the systems of the future?
AI-generated code is shipping to production without security review. The tools that generate the code don't audit it. The developers using the tools often lack the security knowledge to catch what the models miss. This is a growing blind spot in the software supply chain.
