lol - co-founder of Doubleword here. honoured you think we have sophisticated enough marketing to 'newsjack'. What actually happened is my cofounder wrote it over the weekend because he's a mega-nerd and put it live yesterday. I hadn't even read it until I saw this hacker news thread lol

We're just a group of guys and gals who like inference!

And a PhD in Quantum Computing! I'm a physicist so a fan of bra-ket tbh

Another banger

really like the framing of this post :)

I love this blog

(As someone who cares a lot about philosophy of consciousness / & cogsci)

The whole point of consciousness being a 'hard problem' is that we just cannot make claims like 'X is not conscious'

we think so - but haven't tested it ourselves

Hi! Co-founder of Doubleword here - we've hugely increased the number of models that we offer (partly thanks to work that we've done on hotswapping https://blog.doubleword.ai/fast-sglang-starts.

We're kind of known for our low prices - our prices (our main usage is for our high throughput API - the async tier) is significantly below average openrouter prices - but cached prices is coming soon which will lower them even more :)

We at doubleword are bullish for AMD for low-interactivity inference - it does just take a bigger lift on the software side...

If you're talking about UK sovereign LLM inference you need to mention Doubleword... very serious inference optimization lab in london with public endpoints for OS models

We look at how comparative advantage from economics applies to LLM inference - some GPUs are relatively better at FLOPs, others at memory bandwidth. What happens if you let each do what it’s best at?

Huge congrats - and when you look at the latency graphs as well it really shows the value of these specialised systems!

TitanML Takeoff Inference Server demonstrating controlled generation

Drop in replacement for HF's TGI server. The fastest and easiest way to inference LLMs locally

Hey there - TitanML is these guys: https://www.titanml.co/ . I think the impressive thing isn't actually whether the model is good (although it is a good model especially when fine-tuned) - but how fast this model runs on CPU with the TitanML server compared with before.
