Podcast appearances and mentions of Lisa Su

In 2014, when Lisa Su took over as CEO of Advanced Micro Devices, AMD was on the verge of bankruptcy. Su bet hard on hardware and not only pulled the semiconductor company back from the brink, but also led it to surpass its historical rival, Intel, in market cap. Since the launch of ChatGPT made high-powered chips like AMDs “sexy” again, demand for chips has intensified exponentially, but so has the public spotlight on the industry — including from the federal government.  In a live conversation, at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center, as part of their inaugural Discovery Series, Kara talks to Su about her strategy in face of the Trump administration's tariff and export control threats, how to safeguard the US in the global AI race, and what she says when male tech leaders brag about the size of their GPUs.

Aujourd'hui, on plonge dans les annonces d'AMD réalisées au CES 2025. Elles marquent un tournant dans le secteur des PC destinés aux amateurs de jeux vidéos, jusqu'alors une chasse gardée de son concurrent Intel.Voici donc pourquoi Intel pourrait commencer à trembler. D'abord, AMD mène une véritable offensive sur le marché des PC de jeux et cela c'est bien vu au CES.AMD frappe fort cette année avec ses nouveaux processeurs, notamment les séries Ryzen 9000 et Ryzen Z2.Du Ryzen chez Razer et MSISurtout, le fondeur annonce l'intégration pour la première fois d'un processeur AMD Ryzen dans un ordinateur portable de la marque Razer, bien connue des gamers. Il s'agit du modèle Razer Blade 16. C'est une décision stratégique, car jusque-là, l'entreprise de Singapour s'appuyait exclusivement sur des puces Intel pour ses machines.Mais AMD ne s'arrête pas là. MSI, un autre géant des ordinateurs portables de jeu, adopte aussi ces nouveaux processeurs sur son modèle Stealth A18.Bref, ce partenariat montre qu'AMD gagne peu à peu la confiance des marques qui dominent le marché des gamers.Du processeur très haut de gamme et des APUPour aller plus loin nous avons eu la chance de nous entretenir avec Frank Azor, architecte en chef des solutions de jeu chez AMD lors du CES. Il nous a expliqué que l'évolutivité est au cœur de la stratégie.Et il cite en exemple une nouvelle puce dotée de 16 cœurs Zen 5 et d'un cache impressionnant de 144 Mo. Sa vitesse peut atteindre 5,7 Giga Hertz. Bien sûr, cette puce coûte un bras.Mais pour les joueurs au budget plus serré, AMD propose aussi des APU. Une APU est une Unité de calcul accéléré, qui peut être ajoutée au CPU pour améliorer les performances. La toute nouvelle APU Krackan Point, qui doit être commercialisée dans quelques jours, vise donc les joueurs qui ont des oursins dans les poches. Et c'est malin puisque selon Frank Azor, 90 % des joueurs investissent dans des GPU à moins de 1 000 euros.Vers l'IA et la 3DEnfin, il faut noter que AMD n'est pas qu'un rival sérieux pour Intel aussi sur le marché du gaming.Certes, Intel reste un géant. Mais le fondeur est au milieu du gué, et a perdu son PDG Pat Gelsinger à la fin de l'année dernière. La boss d'AMD depuis 10 ans, Lisa Su, a elle au contraire été nommée pour l'année 2024 PDG de l'année par le magasine Time.Et AMD ne veut pas s'arrêter à ses performances sur le gaming. La marque vise désormais le marché de l'intelligence artificielle et la 3D. Elle affirme sur ce terrain que sa puce Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 surpasse même des références comme le GPU Nvidia RTX 4090 ou le M4 Pro d'Apple dans ces domaines.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Applications for the NYC AI Engineer Summit, focused on Agents at Work, are open!When we first started Latent Space, in the lightning round we'd always ask guests: “What's your favorite AI product?”. The majority would say Midjourney. The simple UI of prompt → very aesthetic image turned it into a $300M+ ARR bootstrapped business as it rode the first wave of AI image generation.In open source land, StableDiffusion was congregating around AUTOMATIC1111 as the de-facto web UI. Unlike Midjourney, which offered some flags but was mostly prompt-driven, A1111 let users play with a lot more parameters, supported additional modalities like img2img, and allowed users to load in custom models. If you're interested in some of the SD history, you can look at our episodes with Lexica, Replicate, and Playground.One of the people involved with that community was comfyanonymous, who was also part of the Stability team in 2023, decided to build an alternative called ComfyUI, now one of the fastest growing open source projects in generative images, and is now the preferred partner for folks like Black Forest Labs's Flux Tools on Day 1. The idea behind it was simple: “Everyone is trying to make easy to use interfaces. Let me try to make a powerful interface that's not easy to use.”Unlike its predecessors, ComfyUI does not have an input text box. Everything is based around the idea of a node: there's a text input node, a CLIP node, a checkpoint loader node, a KSampler node, a VAE node, etc. While daunting for simple image generation, the tool is amazing for more complex workflows since you can break down every step of the process, and then chain many of them together rather than manually switching between tools. You can also re-start execution halfway instead of from the beginning, which can save a lot of time when using larger models.To give you an idea of some of the new use cases that this type of UI enables:* Sketch something → Generate an image with SD from sketch → feed it into SD Video to animate* Generate an image of an object → Turn into a 3D asset → Feed into interactive experiences* Input audio → Generate audio-reactive videosTheir Examples page also includes some of the more common use cases like AnimateDiff, etc. They recently launched the Comfy Registry, an online library of different nodes that users can pull from rather than having to build everything from scratch. The project has >60,000 Github stars, and as the community grows, some of the projects that people build have gotten quite complex:The most interesting thing about Comfy is that it's not a UI, it's a runtime. You can build full applications on top of image models simply by using Comfy. You can expose Comfy workflows as an endpoint and chain them together just like you chain a single node. We're seeing the rise of AI Engineering applied to art.Major Tom's ComfyUI Resources from the Latent Space DiscordMajor shoutouts to Major Tom on the LS Discord who is a image generation expert, who offered these pointers:* “best thing about comfy is the fact it supports almost immediately every new thing that comes out - unlike A1111 or forge, which still don't support flux cnet for instance. It will be perfect tool when conflicting nodes will be resolved”* AP Workflows from Alessandro Perili are a nice example of an all-in-one train-evaluate-generate system built atop Comfy* ComfyUI YouTubers to learn from:* @sebastiankamph* @NerdyRodent* @OlivioSarikas* @sedetweiler* @pixaroma* ComfyUI Nodes to check out:* https://github.com/kijai/ComfyUI-IC-Light* https://github.com/MrForExample/ComfyUI-3D-Pack* https://github.com/PowerHouseMan/ComfyUI-AdvancedLivePortrait* https://github.com/pydn/ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension* https://github.com/THtianhao/ComfyUI-Portrait-Maker* https://github.com/ssitu/ComfyUI_NestedNodeBuilder* https://github.com/longgui0318/comfyui-magic-clothing* https://github.com/atmaranto/ComfyUI-SaveAsScript* https://github.com/ZHO-ZHO-ZHO/ComfyUI-InstantID* https://github.com/AIFSH/ComfyUI-FishSpeech* https://github.com/coolzilj/ComfyUI-Photopea* https://github.com/lks-ai/anynode* Sarav: https://www.youtube.com/@mickmumpitz/videos ( applied stuff )* Sarav: https://www.youtube.com/@latentvision (technical, but infrequent)* look for comfyui node for https://github.com/magic-quill/MagicQuill* “Comfy for Video” resources* Kijai (https://github.com/kijai) pushing out support for Mochi, CogVideoX, AnimateDif, LivePortrait etc* Comfyui node support like LTX https://github.com/Lightricks/ComfyUI-LTXVideo , and HunyuanVideo* FloraFauna AI* Communities: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/, https://www.reddit.com/r/comfyui/Full YouTube EpisodeAs usual, you can find the full video episode on our YouTube (and don't forget to like and subscribe!)Timestamps* 00:00:04 Introduction of hosts and anonymous guest* 00:00:35 Origins of Comfy UI and early Stable Diffusion landscape* 00:02:58 Comfy's background and development of high-res fix* 00:05:37 Area conditioning and compositing in image generation* 00:07:20 Discussion on different AI image models (SD, Flux, etc.)* 00:11:10 Closed source model APIs and community discussions on SD versions* 00:14:41 LoRAs and textual inversion in image generation* 00:18:43 Evaluation methods in the Comfy community* 00:20:05 CLIP models and text encoders in image generation* 00:23:05 Prompt weighting and negative prompting* 00:26:22 Comfy UI's unique features and design choices* 00:31:00 Memory management in Comfy UI* 00:33:50 GPU market share and compatibility issues* 00:35:40 Node design and parameter settings in Comfy UI* 00:38:44 Custom nodes and community contributions* 00:41:40 Video generation models and capabilities* 00:44:47 Comfy UI's development timeline and rise to popularity* 00:48:13 Current state of Comfy UI team and future plans* 00:50:11 Discussion on other Comfy startups and potential text generation supportTranscriptAlessio [00:00:04]: Hey everyone, welcome to the Latent Space podcast. This is Alessio, partner and CTO at Decibel Partners, and I'm joined by my co-host Swyx, founder of Small AI.swyx [00:00:12]: Hey everyone, we are in the Chroma Studio again, but with our first ever anonymous guest, Comfy Anonymous, welcome.Comfy [00:00:19]: Hello.swyx [00:00:21]: I feel like that's your full name, you just go by Comfy, right?Comfy [00:00:24]: Yeah, well, a lot of people just call me Comfy, even when they know my real name. Hey, Comfy.Alessio [00:00:32]: Swyx is the same. You know, not a lot of people call you Shawn.swyx [00:00:35]: Yeah, you have a professional name, right, that people know you by, and then you have a legal name. Yeah, it's fine. How do I phrase this? I think people who are in the know, know that Comfy is like the tool for image generation and now other multimodality stuff. I would say that when I first got started with Stable Diffusion, the star of the show was Automatic 111, right? And I actually looked back at my notes from 2022-ish, like Comfy was already getting started back then, but it was kind of like the up and comer, and your main feature was the flowchart. Can you just kind of rewind to that moment, that year and like, you know, how you looked at the landscape there and decided to start Comfy?Comfy [00:01:10]: Yeah, I discovered Stable Diffusion in 2022, in October 2022. And, well, I kind of started playing around with it. Yes, I, and back then I was using Automatic, which was what everyone was using back then. And so I started with that because I had, it was when I started, I had no idea like how Diffusion works. I didn't know how Diffusion models work, how any of this works, so.swyx [00:01:36]: Oh, yeah. What was your prior background as an engineer?Comfy [00:01:39]: Just a software engineer. Yeah. Boring software engineer.swyx [00:01:44]: But like any, any image stuff, any orchestration, distributed systems, GPUs?Comfy [00:01:49]: No, I was doing basically nothing interesting. Crud, web development? Yeah, a lot of web development, just, yeah, some basic, maybe some basic like automation stuff. Okay. Just. Yeah, no, like, no big companies or anything.swyx [00:02:08]: Yeah, but like already some interest in automations, probably a lot of Python.Comfy [00:02:12]: Yeah, yeah, of course, Python. But I wasn't actually used to like the Node graph interface before I started Comfy UI. It was just, I just thought it was like, oh, like, what's the best way to represent the Diffusion process in the user interface? And then like, oh, well. Well, like, naturally, oh, this is the best way I've found. And this was like with the Node interface. So how I got started was, yeah, so basic October 2022, just like I hadn't written a line of PyTorch before that. So it's completely new. What happened was I kind of got addicted to generating images.Alessio [00:02:58]: As we all did. Yeah.Comfy [00:03:00]: And then I started. I started experimenting with like the high-res fixed in auto, which was for those that don't know, the high-res fix is just since the Diffusion models back then could only generate that low-resolution. So what you would do, you would generate low-resolution image, then upscale, then refine it again. And that was kind of the hack to generate high-resolution images. I really liked generating. Like higher resolution images. So I was experimenting with that. And so I modified the code a bit. Okay. What happens if I, if I use different samplers on the second pass, I was edited the code of auto. So what happens if I use a different sampler? What happens if I use a different, like a different settings, different number of steps? And because back then the. The high-res fix was very basic, just, so. Yeah.swyx [00:04:05]: Now there's a whole library of just, uh, the upsamplers.Comfy [00:04:08]: I think, I think they added a bunch of, uh, of options to the high-res fix since, uh, since, since then. But before that was just so basic. So I wanted to go further. I wanted to try it. What happens if I use a different model for the second, the second pass? And then, well, then the auto code base was, wasn't good enough for. Like, it would have been, uh, harder to implement that in the auto interface than to create my own interface. So that's when I decided to create my own. And you were doing that mostly on your own when you started, or did you already have kind of like a subgroup of people? No, I was, uh, on my own because, because it was just me experimenting with stuff. So yeah, that was it. Then, so I started writing the code January one. 2023, and then I released the first version on GitHub, January 16th, 2023. That's how things got started.Alessio [00:05:11]: And what's, what's the name? Comfy UI right away or? Yeah.Comfy [00:05:14]: Comfy UI. The reason the name, my name is Comfy is people thought my pictures were comfy, so I just, uh, just named it, uh, uh, it's my Comfy UI. So yeah, that's, uh,swyx [00:05:27]: Is there a particular segment of the community that you targeted as users? Like more intensive workflow artists, you know, compared to the automatic crowd or, you know,Comfy [00:05:37]: This was my way of like experimenting with, uh, with new things, like the high risk fixed thing I mentioned, which was like in Comfy, the first thing you could easily do was just chain different models together. And then one of the first things, I think the first times it got a bit of popularity was when I started experimenting with the different, like applying. Prompts to different areas of the image. Yeah. I called it area conditioning, posted it on Reddit and it got a bunch of upvotes. So I think that's when, like, when people first learned of Comfy UI.swyx [00:06:17]: Is that mostly like fixing hands?Comfy [00:06:19]: Uh, no, no, no. That was just, uh, like, let's say, well, it was very, well, it still is kind of difficult to like, let's say you want a mountain, you have an image and then, okay. I'm like, okay. I want the mountain here and I want the, like a, a Fox here.swyx [00:06:37]: Yeah. So compositing the image. Yeah.Comfy [00:06:40]: My way was very easy. It was just like, oh, when you run the diffusion process, you kind of generate, okay. You do pass one pass through the diffusion, every step you do one pass. Okay. This place of the image with this brand, this space, place of the image with the other prop. And then. The entire image with another prop and then just average everything together, every step, and that was, uh, area composition, which I call it. And then, then a month later, there was a paper that came out called multi diffusion, which was the same thing, but yeah, that's, uh,Alessio [00:07:20]: could you do area composition with different models or because you're averaging out, you kind of need the same model.Comfy [00:07:26]: Could do it with, but yeah, I hadn't implemented it. For different models, but, uh, you, you can do it with, uh, with different models if you want, as long as the models share the same latent space, like we, we're supposed to ring a bell every time someone says, yeah, like, for example, you couldn't use like Excel and SD 1.5, because those have a different latent space, but like, uh, yeah, like SD 1.5 models, different ones. You could, you could do that.swyx [00:07:59]: There's some models that try to work in pixel space, right?Comfy [00:08:03]: Yeah. They're very slow. Of course. That's the problem. That that's the, the reason why stable diffusion actually became like popular, like, cause was because of the latent space.swyx [00:08:14]: Small and yeah. Because it used to be latent diffusion models and then they trained it up.Comfy [00:08:19]: Yeah. Cause a pixel pixel diffusion models are just too slow. So. Yeah.swyx [00:08:25]: Have you ever tried to talk to like, like stability, the latent diffusion guys, like, you know, Robin Rombach, that, that crew. Yeah.Comfy [00:08:32]: Well, I used to work at stability.swyx [00:08:34]: Oh, I actually didn't know. Yeah.Comfy [00:08:35]: I used to work at stability. I got, uh, I got hired, uh, in June, 2023.swyx [00:08:42]: Ah, that's the part of the story I didn't know about. Okay. Yeah.Comfy [00:08:46]: So the, the reason I was hired is because they were doing, uh, SDXL at the time and they were basically SDXL. I don't know if you remember it was a base model and then a refiner model. Basically they wanted to experiment, like chaining them together. And then, uh, they saw, oh, right. Oh, this, we can use this to do that. Well, let's hire that guy.swyx [00:09:10]: But they didn't, they didn't pursue it for like SD3. What do you mean? Like the SDXL approach. Yeah.Comfy [00:09:16]: The reason for that approach was because basically they had two models and then they wanted to publish both of them. So they, they trained one on. Lower time steps, which was the refiner model. And then they, the first one was trained normally. And then they went during their test, they realized, oh, like if we string these models together are like quality increases. So let's publish that. It worked. Yeah. But like right now, I don't think many people actually use the refiner anymore, even though it is actually a full diffusion model. Like you can use it on its own. And it's going to generate images. I don't think anyone, people have mostly forgotten about it. But, uh.Alessio [00:10:05]: Can we talk about models a little bit? So stable diffusion, obviously is the most known. I know flux has gotten a lot of traction. Are there any underrated models that people should use more or what's the state of the union?Comfy [00:10:17]: Well, the, the latest, uh, state of the art, at least, yeah, for images there's, uh, yeah, there's flux. There's also SD3.5. SD3.5 is two models. There's a, there's a small one, 2.5B and there's the bigger one, 8B. So it's, it's smaller than flux. So, and it's more, uh, creative in a way, but flux, yeah, flux is the best. People should give SD3.5 a try cause it's, uh, it's different. I won't say it's better. Well, it's better for some like specific use cases. Right. If you want some to make something more like creative, maybe SD3.5. If you want to make something more consistent and flux is probably better.swyx [00:11:06]: Do you ever consider supporting the closed source model APIs?Comfy [00:11:10]: Uh, well, they, we do support them as custom nodes. We actually have some, uh, official custom nodes from, uh, different. Ideogram.swyx [00:11:20]: Yeah. I guess DALI would have one. Yeah.Comfy [00:11:23]: That's, uh, it's just not, I'm not the person that handles that. Sure.swyx [00:11:28]: Sure. Quick question on, on SD. There's a lot of community discussion about the transition from SD1.5 to SD2 and then SD2 to SD3. People still like, you know, very loyal to the previous generations of SDs?Comfy [00:11:41]: Uh, yeah. SD1.5 then still has a lot of, a lot of users.swyx [00:11:46]: The last based model.Comfy [00:11:49]: Yeah. Then SD2 was mostly ignored. It wasn't, uh, it wasn't a big enough improvement over the previous one. Okay.swyx [00:11:58]: So SD1.5, SD3, flux and whatever else. SDXL. SDXL.Comfy [00:12:03]: That's the main one. Stable cascade. Stable cascade. That was a good model. But, uh, that's, uh, the problem with that one is, uh, it got, uh, like SD3 was announced one week after. Yeah.swyx [00:12:16]: It was like a weird release. Uh, what was it like inside of stability actually? I mean, statute of limitations. Yeah. The statute of limitations expired. You know, management has moved. So it's easier to talk about now. Yeah.Comfy [00:12:27]: And inside stability, actually that model was ready, uh, like three months before, but it got, uh, stuck in, uh, red teaming. So basically the product, if that model had released or was supposed to be released by the authors, then it would probably have gotten very popular since it's a, it's a step up from SDXL. But it got all of its momentum stolen. It got stolen by the SD3 announcement. So people kind of didn't develop anything on top of it, even though it's, uh, yeah. It was a good model, at least, uh, completely mostly ignored for some reason. Likeswyx [00:13:07]: I think the naming as well matters. It seemed like a branch off of the main, main tree of development. Yeah.Comfy [00:13:15]: Well, it was different researchers that did it. Yeah. Yeah. Very like, uh, good model. Like it's the Worcestershire authors. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.swyx [00:13:28]: I actually met them in Vienna. Yeah.Comfy [00:13:30]: They worked at stability for a bit and they left right after the Cascade release.swyx [00:13:35]: This is Dustin, right? No. Uh, Dustin's SD3. Yeah.Comfy [00:13:38]: Dustin is a SD3 SDXL. That's, uh, Pablo and Dome. I think I'm pronouncing his name correctly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's very good.swyx [00:13:51]: It seems like the community is very, they move very quickly. Yeah. Like when there's a new model out, they just drop whatever the current one is. And they just all move wholesale over. Like they don't really stay to explore the full capabilities. Like if, if the stable cascade was that good, they would have AB tested a bit more. Instead they're like, okay, SD3 is out. Let's go. You know?Comfy [00:14:11]: Well, I find the opposite actually. The community doesn't like, they only jump on a new model when there's a significant improvement. Like if there's a, only like a incremental improvement, which is what, uh, most of these models are going to have, especially if you, cause, uh, stay the same parameter count. Yeah. Like you're not going to get a massive improvement, uh, into like, unless there's something big that, that changes. So, uh. Yeah.swyx [00:14:41]: And how are they evaluating these improvements? Like, um, because there's, it's a whole chain of, you know, comfy workflows. Yeah. How does, how does one part of the chain actually affect the whole process?Comfy [00:14:52]: Are you talking on the model side specific?swyx [00:14:54]: Model specific, right? But like once you have your whole workflow based on a model, it's very hard to move.Comfy [00:15:01]: Uh, not, well, not really. Well, it depends on your, uh, depends on their specific kind of the workflow. Yeah.swyx [00:15:09]: So I do a lot of like text and image. Yeah.Comfy [00:15:12]: When you do change, like most workflows are kind of going to be complete. Yeah. It's just like, you might have to completely change your prompt completely change. Okay.swyx [00:15:24]: Well, I mean, then maybe the question is really about evals. Like what does the comfy community do for evals? Just, you know,Comfy [00:15:31]: Well, that they don't really do that. It's more like, oh, I think this image is nice. So that's, uh,swyx [00:15:38]: They just subscribe to Fofr AI and just see like, you know, what Fofr is doing. Yeah.Comfy [00:15:43]: Well, they just, they just generate like it. Like, I don't see anyone really doing it. Like, uh, at least on the comfy side, comfy users, they, it's more like, oh, generate images and see, oh, this one's nice. It's like, yeah, it's not, uh, like the, the more, uh, like, uh, scientific, uh, like, uh, like checking that's more on specifically on like model side. If, uh, yeah, but there is a lot of, uh, vibes also, cause it is a like, uh, artistic, uh, you can create a very good model that doesn't generate nice images. Cause most images on the internet are ugly. So if you, if that's like, if you just, oh, I have the best model at 10th giant, it's super smart. I created on all the, like I've trained on just all the images on the internet. The images are not going to look good. So yeah.Alessio [00:16:42]: Yeah.Comfy [00:16:43]: They're going to be very consistent. But yeah. People like, it's not going to be like the, the look that people are going to be expecting from, uh, from a model. So. Yeah.swyx [00:16:54]: Can we talk about LoRa's? Cause we thought we talked about models then like the next step is probably LoRa's. Before, I actually, I'm kind of curious how LoRa's entered the tool set of the image community because the LoRa paper was 2021. And then like, there was like other methods like textual inversion that was popular at the early SD stage. Yeah.Comfy [00:17:13]: I can't even explain the difference between that. Yeah. Textual inversions. That's basically what you're doing is you're, you're training a, cause well, yeah. Stable diffusion. You have the diffusion model, you have text encoder. So basically what you're doing is training a vector that you're going to pass to the text encoder. It's basically you're training a new word. Yeah.swyx [00:17:37]: It's a little bit like representation engineering now. Yeah.Comfy [00:17:40]: Yeah. Basically. Yeah. You're just, so yeah, if you know how like the text encoder works, basically you have, you take your, your words of your product, you convert those into tokens with the tokenizer and those are converted into vectors. Basically. Yeah. Each token represents a different vector. So each word presents a vector. And those, depending on your words, that's the list of vectors that get passed to the text encoder, which is just. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just a stack of, of attention. Like basically it's a very close to LLM architecture. Yeah. Yeah. So basically what you're doing is just training a new vector. We're saying, well, I have all these images and I want to know which word does that represent? And it's going to get like, you train this vector and then, and then when you use this vector, it hopefully generates. Like something similar to your images. Yeah.swyx [00:18:43]: I would say it's like surprisingly sample efficient in picking up the concept that you're trying to train it on. Yeah.Comfy [00:18:48]: Well, people have kind of stopped doing that even though back as like when I was at Stability, we, we actually did train internally some like textual versions on like T5 XXL actually worked pretty well. But for some reason, yeah, people don't use them. And also they might also work like, like, yeah, this is something and probably have to test, but maybe if you train a textual version, like on T5 XXL, it might also work with all the other models that use T5 XXL because same thing with like, like the textual inversions that, that were trained for SD 1.5, they also kind of work on SDXL because SDXL has the, has two text encoders. And one of them is the same as the, as the SD 1.5 CLIP-L. So those, they actually would, they don't work as strongly because they're only applied to one of the text encoders. But, and the same thing for SD3. SD3 has three text encoders. So it works. It's still, you can still use your textual version SD 1.5 on SD3, but it's just a lot weaker because now there's three text encoders. So it gets even more diluted. Yeah.swyx [00:20:05]: Do people experiment a lot on, just on the CLIP side, there's like Siglip, there's Blip, like do people experiment a lot on those?Comfy [00:20:12]: You can't really replace. Yeah.swyx [00:20:14]: Because they're trained together, right? Yeah.Comfy [00:20:15]: They're trained together. So you can't like, well, what I've seen people experimenting with is a long CLIP. So basically someone fine tuned the CLIP model to accept longer prompts.swyx [00:20:27]: Oh, it's kind of like long context fine tuning. Yeah.Comfy [00:20:31]: So, so like it's, it's actually supported in Core Comfy.swyx [00:20:35]: How long is long?Comfy [00:20:36]: Regular CLIP is 77 tokens. Yeah. Long CLIP is 256. Okay. So, but the hack that like you've, if you use stable diffusion 1.5, you've probably noticed, oh, it still works if I, if I use long prompts, prompts longer than 77 words. Well, that's because the hack is to just, well, you split, you split it up in chugs of 77, your whole big prompt. Let's say you, you give it like the massive text, like the Bible or something, and it would split it up in chugs of 77 and then just pass each one through the CLIP and then just cut anything together at the end. It's not ideal, but it actually works.swyx [00:21:26]: Like the positioning of the words really, really matters then, right? Like this is why order matters in prompts. Yeah.Comfy [00:21:33]: Yeah. Like it, it works, but it's, it's not ideal, but it's what people expect. Like if, if someone gives a huge prompt, they expect at least some of the concepts at the end to be like present in the image. But usually when they give long prompts, they, they don't, they like, they don't expect like detail, I think. So that's why it works very well.swyx [00:21:58]: And while we're on this topic, prompts waiting, negative comments. Negative prompting all, all sort of similar part of this layer of the stack. Yeah.Comfy [00:22:05]: The, the hack for that, which works on CLIP, like it, basically it's just for SD 1.5, well, for SD 1.5, the prompt waiting works well because CLIP L is a, is not a very deep model. So you have a very high correlation between, you have the input token, the index of the input token vector. And the output token, they're very, the concepts are very close, closely linked. So that means if you interpolate the vector from what, well, the, the way Comfy UI does it is it has, okay, you have the vector, you have an empty prompt. So you have a, a chunk, like a CLIP output for the empty prompt, and then you have the one for your prompt. And then it interpolates from that, depending on your prompt. Yeah.Comfy [00:23:07]: So that's how it, how it does prompt waiting. But this stops working the deeper your text encoder is. So on T5X itself, it doesn't work at all. So. Wow.swyx [00:23:20]: Is that a problem for people? I mean, cause I'm used to just move, moving up numbers. Probably not. Yeah.Comfy [00:23:25]: Well.swyx [00:23:26]: So you just use words to describe, right? Cause it's a bigger language model. Yeah.Comfy [00:23:30]: Yeah. So. Yeah. So honestly it might be good, but I haven't seen many complaints on Flux that it's not working. So, cause I guess people can sort of get around it with, with language. So. Yeah.swyx [00:23:46]: Yeah. And then coming back to LoRa's, now the, the popular way to, to customize models is LoRa's. And I saw you also support Locon and LoHa, which I've never heard of before.Comfy [00:23:56]: There's a bunch of, cause what, what the LoRa is essentially is. Instead of like, okay, you have your, your model and then you want to fine tune it. So instead of like, what you could do is you could fine tune the entire thing, but that's a bit heavy. So to speed things up and make things less heavy, what you can do is just fine tune some smaller weights, like basically two, two matrices that when you multiply like two low rank matrices and when you multiply them together, gives a, represents a difference between trained weights and your base weights. So by training those two smaller matrices, that's a lot less heavy. Yeah.Alessio [00:24:45]: And they're portable. So you're going to share them. Yeah. It's like easier. And also smaller.Comfy [00:24:49]: Yeah. That's the, how LoRa's work. So basically, so when, when inferencing you, you get an inference with them pretty efficiently, like how ComputeWrite does it. It just, when you use a LoRa, it just applies it straight on the weights so that there's only a small delay at the base, like before the sampling to when it applies the weights and then it just same speed as, as before. So for, for inference, it's, it's not that bad, but, and then you have, so basically all the LoRa types like LoHa, LoCon, everything, that's just different ways of representing that like. Basically, you can call it kind of like compression, even though it's not really compression, it's just different ways of represented, like just, okay, I want to train a different on the difference on the weights. What's the best way to represent that difference? There's the basic LoRa, which is just, oh, let's multiply these two matrices together. And then there's all the other ones, which are all different algorithms. So. Yeah.Alessio [00:25:57]: So let's talk about LoRa. Let's talk about what comfy UI actually is. I think most people have heard of it. Some people might've seen screenshots. I think fewer people have built very complex workflows. So when you started, automatic was like the super simple way. What were some of the choices that you made? So the node workflow, is there anything else that stands out as like, this was like a unique take on how to do image generation workflows?Comfy [00:26:22]: Well, I feel like, yeah, back then everyone was trying to make like easy to use interface. Yeah. So I'm like, well, everyone's trying to make an easy to use interface.swyx [00:26:32]: Let's make a hard to use interface.Comfy [00:26:37]: Like, so like, I like, I don't need to do that, everyone else doing it. So let me try something like, let me try to make a powerful interface that's not easy to use. So.swyx [00:26:52]: So like, yeah, there's a sort of node execution engine. Yeah. Yeah. And it actually lists, it has this really good list of features of things you prioritize, right? Like let me see, like sort of re-executing from, from any parts of the workflow that was changed, asynchronous queue system, smart memory management, like all this seems like a lot of engineering that. Yeah.Comfy [00:27:12]: There's a lot of engineering in the back end to make things, cause I was always focused on making things work locally very well. Cause that's cause I was using it locally. So everything. So there's a lot of, a lot of thought and working by getting everything to run as well as possible. So yeah. ConfUI is actually more of a back end, at least, well, not all the front ends getting a lot more development, but, but before, before it was, I was pretty much only focused on the backend. Yeah.swyx [00:27:50]: So v0.1 was only August this year. Yeah.Comfy [00:27:54]: With the new front end. Before there was no versioning. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah.swyx [00:27:57]: And so what was the big rewrite for the 0.1 and then the 1.0?Comfy [00:28:02]: Well, that's more on the front end side. That's cause before that it was just like the UI, what, cause when I first wrote it, I just, I said, okay, how can I make, like, I can do web development, but I don't like doing it. Like what's the easiest way I can slap a node interface on this. And then I found this library. Yeah. Like JavaScript library.swyx [00:28:26]: Live graph?Comfy [00:28:27]: Live graph.swyx [00:28:28]: Usually people will go for like react flow for like a flow builder. Yeah.Comfy [00:28:31]: But that seems like too complicated. So I didn't really want to spend time like developing the front end. So I'm like, well, oh, light graph. This has the whole node interface. So, okay. Let me just plug that into, to my backend.swyx [00:28:49]: I feel like if Streamlit or Gradio offered something that you would have used Streamlit or Gradio cause it's Python. Yeah.Comfy [00:28:54]: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.Comfy [00:29:00]: Yeah.Comfy [00:29:14]: Yeah. logic and your backend logic and just sticks them together.swyx [00:29:20]: It's supposed to be easy for you guys. If you're a Python main, you know, I'm a JS main, right? Okay. If you're a Python main, it's supposed to be easy.Comfy [00:29:26]: Yeah, it's easy, but it makes your whole software a huge mess.swyx [00:29:30]: I see, I see. So you're mixing concerns instead of separating concerns?Comfy [00:29:34]: Well, it's because... Like frontend and backend. Frontend and backend should be well separated with a defined API. Like that's how you're supposed to do it. Smart people disagree. It just sticks everything together. It makes it easy to like a huge mess. And also it's, there's a lot of issues with Gradio. Like it's very good if all you want to do is just get like slap a quick interface on your, like to show off your ML project. Like that's what it's made for. Yeah. Like there's no problem using it. Like, oh, I have my, I have my code. I just wanted a quick interface on it. That's perfect. Like use Gradio. But if you want to make something that's like a real, like real software that will last a long time and will be easy to maintain, then I would avoid it. Yeah.swyx [00:30:32]: So your criticism is Streamlit and Gradio are the same. I mean, those are the same criticisms.Comfy [00:30:37]: Yeah, Streamlit I haven't used as much. Yeah, I just looked a bit.swyx [00:30:43]: Similar philosophy.Comfy [00:30:44]: Yeah, it's similar. It's just, it just seems to me like, okay, for quick, like AI demos, it's perfect.swyx [00:30:51]: Yeah. Going back to like the core tech, like asynchronous queues, slow re-execution, smart memory management, you know, anything that you were very proud of or was very hard to figure out?Comfy [00:31:00]: Yeah. The thing that's the biggest pain in the ass is probably the memory management. Yeah.swyx [00:31:05]: Were you just paging models in and out or? Yeah.Comfy [00:31:08]: Before it was just, okay, load the model, completely unload it. Then, okay, that, that works well when you, your model are small, but if your models are big and it takes sort of like, let's say someone has a, like a, a 4090, and the model size is 10 gigabytes, that can take a few seconds to like load and load, load and load, so you want to try to keep things like in memory, in the GPU memory as much as possible. What Comfy UI does right now is it. It tries to like estimate, okay, like, okay, you're going to sample this model, it's going to take probably this amount of memory, let's remove the models, like this amount of memory that's been loaded on the GPU and then just execute it. But so there's a fine line between just because try to remove the least amount of models that are already loaded. Because as fans, like Windows drivers, and one other problem is the NVIDIA driver on Windows by default, because there's a way to, there's an option to disable that feature, but by default it, like, if you start loading, you can overflow your GPU memory and then it's, the driver's going to automatically start paging to RAM. But the problem with that is it's, it makes everything extremely slow. So when you see people complaining, oh, this model, it works, but oh, s**t, it starts slowing down a lot, that's probably what's happening. So it's basically you have to just try to get, use as much memory as possible, but not too much, or else things start slowing down, or people get out of memory, and then just find, try to find that line where, oh, like the driver on Windows starts paging and stuff. Yeah. And the problem with PyTorch is it's, it's high levels, don't have that much fine-grained control over, like, specific memory stuff, so kind of have to leave, like, the memory freeing to, to Python and PyTorch, which is, can be annoying sometimes.swyx [00:33:32]: So, you know, I think one thing is, as a maintainer of this project, like, you're designing for a very wide surface area of compute, like, you even support CPUs.Comfy [00:33:42]: Yeah, well, that's... That's just, for PyTorch, PyTorch supports CPUs, so, yeah, it's just, that's not, that's not hard to support.swyx [00:33:50]: First of all, is there a market share estimate, like, is it, like, 70% NVIDIA, like, 30% AMD, and then, like, miscellaneous on Apple, Silicon, or whatever?Comfy [00:33:59]: For Comfy? Yeah. Yeah, and, yeah, I don't know the market share.swyx [00:34:03]: Can you guess?Comfy [00:34:04]: I think it's mostly NVIDIA. Right. Because, because AMD, the problem, like, AMD works horribly on Windows. Like, on Linux, it works fine. It's, it's lower than the price equivalent NVIDIA GPU, but it works, like, you can use it, you generate images, everything works. On Linux, on Windows, you might have a hard time, so, that's the problem, and most people, I think most people who bought AMD probably use Windows. They probably aren't going to switch to Linux, so... Yeah. So, until AMD actually, like, ports their, like, raw cam to, to Windows properly, and then there's actually PyTorch, I think they're, they're doing that, they're in the process of doing that, but, until they get it, they get a good, like, PyTorch raw cam build that works on Windows, it's, like, they're going to have a hard time. Yeah.Alessio [00:35:06]: We got to get George on it. Yeah. Well, he's trying to get Lisa Su to do it, but... Let's talk a bit about, like, the node design. So, unlike all the other text-to-image, you have a very, like, deep, so you have, like, a separate node for, like, clip and code, you have a separate node for, like, the case sampler, you have, like, all these nodes. Going back to, like, the making it easy versus making it hard, but, like, how much do people actually play with all the settings, you know? Kind of, like, how do you guide people to, like, hey, this is actually going to be very impactful versus this is maybe, like, less impactful, but we still want to expose it to you?Comfy [00:35:40]: Well, I try to... I try to expose, like, I try to expose everything or, but, yeah, at least for the, but for things, like, for example, for the samplers, like, there's, like, yeah, four different sampler nodes, which go in easiest to most advanced. So, yeah, if you go, like, the easy node, the regular sampler node, that's, you have just the basic settings. But if you use, like, the sampler advanced... If you use, like, the custom advanced node, that, that one you can actually, you'll see you have, like, different nodes.Alessio [00:36:19]: I'm looking it up now. Yeah. What are, like, the most impactful parameters that you use? So, it's, like, you know, you can have more, but, like, which ones, like, really make a difference?Comfy [00:36:30]: Yeah, they all do. They all have their own, like, they all, like, for example, yeah, steps. Usually you want steps, you want them to be as low as possible. But you want, if you're optimizing your workflow, you want to, you lower the steps until, like, the images start deteriorating too much. Because that, yeah, that's the number of steps you're running the diffusion process. So, if you want things to be faster, lower is better. But, yeah, CFG, that's more, you can kind of see that as the contrast of the image. Like, if your image looks too bursty. Then you can lower the CFG. So, yeah, CFG, that's how, yeah, that's how strongly the, like, the negative versus positive prompt. Because when you sample a diffusion model, it's basically a negative prompt. It's just, yeah, positive prediction minus negative prediction.swyx [00:37:32]: Contrastive loss. Yeah.Comfy [00:37:34]: It's positive minus negative, and the CFG does the multiplier. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so.Alessio [00:37:41]: What are, like, good resources to understand what the parameters do? I think most people start with automatic, and then they move over, and it's, like, snap, CFG, sampler, name, scheduler, denoise. Read it.Comfy [00:37:53]: But, honestly, well, it's more, it's something you should, like, try out yourself. I don't know, you don't necessarily need to know how it works to, like, what it does. Because even if you know, like, CFGO, it's, like, positive minus negative prompt. Yeah. So the only thing you know at CFG is if it's 1.0, then that means the negative prompt isn't applied. It also means sampling is two times faster. But, yeah. But other than that, it's more, like, you should really just see what it does to the images yourself, and you'll probably get a more intuitive understanding of what these things do.Alessio [00:38:34]: Any other nodes or things you want to shout out? Like, I know the animate diff IP adapter. Those are, like, some of the most popular ones. Yeah. What else comes to mind?Comfy [00:38:44]: Not nodes, but there's, like, what I like is when some people, sometimes they make things that use ComfyUI as their backend. Like, there's a plugin for Krita that uses ComfyUI as its backend. So you can use, like, all the models that work in Comfy in Krita. And I think I've tried it once. But I know a lot of people use it, and it's probably really nice, so.Alessio [00:39:15]: What's the craziest node that people have built, like, the most complicated?Comfy [00:39:21]: Craziest node? Like, yeah. I know some people have made, like, video games in Comfy with, like, stuff like that. So, like, someone, like, I remember, like, yeah, last, I think it was last year, someone made, like, a, like, Wolfenstein 3D in Comfy. Of course. And then one of the inputs was, oh, you can generate a texture, and then it changes the texture in the game. So you can plug it to, like, the workflow. And there's a lot of, if you look there, there's a lot of crazy things people do, so. Yeah.Alessio [00:39:59]: And now there's, like, a node register that people can use to, like, download nodes. Yeah.Comfy [00:40:04]: Like, well, there's always been the, like, the ComfyUI manager. Yeah. But we're trying to make this more, like, I don't know, official, like, with, yeah, with the node registry. Because before the node registry, the, like, okay, how did your custom node get into ComfyUI manager? That's the guy running it who, like, every day he searched GitHub for new custom nodes and added dev annually to his custom node manager. So we're trying to make it less effortless. So we're trying to make it less effortless for him, basically. Yeah.Alessio [00:40:40]: Yeah. But I was looking, I mean, there's, like, a YouTube download node. There's, like, this is almost like, you know, a data pipeline more than, like, an image generation thing at this point. It's, like, you can get data in, you can, like, apply filters to it, you can generate data out.Comfy [00:40:54]: Yeah. You can do a lot of different things. Yeah. So I'm thinking, I think what I did is I made it easy to make custom nodes. So I think that helped a lot. I think that helped a lot for, like, the ecosystem because it is very easy to just make a node. So, yeah, a bit too easy sometimes. Then we have the issue where there's a lot of custom node packs which share similar nodes. But, well, that's, yeah, something we're trying to solve by maybe bringing some of the functionality into the core. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.Alessio [00:41:36]: And then there's, like, video. People can do video generation. Yeah.Comfy [00:41:40]: Video, that's, well, the first video model was, like, stable video diffusion, which was last, yeah, exactly last year, I think. Like, one year ago. But that wasn't a true video model. So it was...swyx [00:41:55]: It was, like, moving images? Yeah.Comfy [00:41:57]: I generated video. What I mean by that is it's, like, it's still 2D Latents. It's basically what I'm trying to do. So what they did is they took SD2, and then they added some temporal attention to it, and then trained it on videos and all. So it's kind of, like, animated, like, same idea, basically. Why I say it's not a true video model is that you still have, like, the 2D Latents. Like, a true video model, like Mochi, for example, would have 3D Latents. Mm-hmm.Alessio [00:42:32]: Which means you can, like, move through the space, basically. It's the difference. You're not just kind of, like, reorienting. Yeah.Comfy [00:42:39]: And it's also, well, it's also because you have a temporal VAE. Mm-hmm. Also, like, Mochi has a temporal VAE that compresses on, like, the temporal direction, also. So that's something you don't have with, like, yeah, animated diff and stable video diffusion. They only, like, compress spatially, not temporally. Mm-hmm. Right. So, yeah. That's why I call that, like, true video models. There's, yeah, there's actually a few of them, but the one I've implemented in comfy is Mochi, because that seems to be the best one so far. Yeah.swyx [00:43:15]: We had AJ come and speak at the stable diffusion meetup. The other open one I think I've seen is COG video. Yeah.Comfy [00:43:21]: COG video. Yeah. That one's, yeah, it also seems decent, but, yeah. Chinese, so we don't use it. No, it's fine. It's just, yeah, I could. Yeah. It's just that there's a, it's not the only one. There's also a few others, which I.swyx [00:43:36]: The rest are, like, closed source, right? Like, Cling. Yeah.Comfy [00:43:39]: Closed source, there's a bunch of them. But I mean, open. I've seen a few of them. Like, I can't remember their names, but there's COG videos, the big, the big one. Then there's also a few of them that released at the same time. There's one that released at the same time as SSD 3.5, same day, which is why I don't remember the name.swyx [00:44:02]: We should have a release schedule so we don't conflict on each of these things. Yeah.Comfy [00:44:06]: I think SD 3.5 and Mochi released on the same day. So everything else was kind of drowned, completely drowned out. So for some reason, lots of people picked that day to release their stuff.Comfy [00:44:21]: Yeah. Which is, well, shame for those. And I think Omnijet also released the same day, which also seems interesting. Yeah. Yeah.Alessio [00:44:30]: What's Comfy? So you are Comfy. And then there's like, comfy.org. I know we do a lot of things for, like, news research and those guys also have kind of like a more open source thing going on. How do you work? Like you mentioned, you mostly work on like, the core piece of it. And then what...Comfy [00:44:47]: Maybe I should fade it in because I, yeah, I feel like maybe, yeah, I only explain part of the story. Right. Yeah. Maybe I should explain the rest. So yeah. So yeah. Basically, January, that's when the first January 2023, January 16, 2023, that's when Amphi was first released to the public. Then, yeah, did a Reddit post about the area composition thing somewhere in, I don't remember exactly, maybe end of January, beginning of February. And then someone, a YouTuber, made a video about it, like Olivio, he made a video about Amphi in March 2023. I think that's when it was a real burst of attention. And by that time, I was continuing to develop it and it was getting, people were starting to use it more, which unfortunately meant that I had first written it to do like experiments, but then my time to do experiments went down. It started going down, because people were actually starting to use it then. Like, I had to, and I said, well, yeah, time to add all these features and stuff. Yeah, and then I got hired by Stability June, 2023. Then I made, basically, yeah, they hired me because they wanted the SD-XL. So I got the SD-XL working very well withітhe UI, because they were experimenting withámphi.house.com. Actually, the SDX, how the SDXL released worked is they released, for some reason, like they released the code first, but they didn't release the model checkpoint. So they released the code. And then, well, since the research was related to code, I released the code in Compute 2. And then the checkpoints were basically early access. People had to sign up and they only allowed a lot of people from edu emails. Like if you had an edu email, like they gave you access basically to the SDXL 0.9. And, well, that leaked. Right. Of course, because of course it's going to leak if you do that. Well, the only way people could easily use it was with Comfy. So, yeah, people started using. And then I fixed a few of the issues people had. So then the big 1.0 release happened. And, well, Comfy UI was the only way a lot of people could actually run it on their computers. Because it just like automatic was so like inefficient and bad that most people couldn't actually, like it just wouldn't work. Like because he did a quick implementation. So people were forced. To use Comfy UI, and that's how it became popular because people had no choice.swyx [00:47:55]: The growth hack.Comfy [00:47:56]: Yeah.swyx [00:47:56]: Yeah.Comfy [00:47:57]: Like everywhere, like people who didn't have the 4090, they had like, who had just regular GPUs, they didn't have a choice.Alessio [00:48:05]: So yeah, I got a 4070. So think of me. And so today, what's, is there like a core Comfy team or?Comfy [00:48:13]: Uh, yeah, well, right now, um, yeah, we are hiring. Okay. Actually, so right now core, like, um, the core core itself, it's, it's me. Uh, but because, uh, the reason where folks like all the focus has been mostly on the front end right now, because that's the thing that's been neglected for a long time. So, uh, so most of the focus right now is, uh, all on the front end, but we are, uh, yeah, we will soon get, uh, more people to like help me with the actual backend stuff. Yeah. So, no, I'm not going to say a hundred percent because that's why once the, once we have our V one release, which is because it'd be the package, come fee-wise with the nice interface and easy to install on windows and hopefully Mac. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Once we have that, uh, we're going to have to, lots of stuff to do on the backend side and also the front end side, but, uh.Alessio [00:49:14]: What's the release that I'm on the wait list. What's the timing?Comfy [00:49:18]: Uh, soon. Uh, soon. Yeah, I don't want to promise a release date. We do have a release date we're targeting, but I'm not sure if it's public. Yeah, and we're still going to continue doing the open source, making MPUI the best way to run stable infusion models. At least the open source side, it's going to be the best way to run models locally. But we will have a few things to make money from it, like cloud inference or that type of thing. And maybe some things for some enterprises.swyx [00:50:08]: I mean, a few questions on that. How do you feel about the other comfy startups?Comfy [00:50:11]: I mean, I think it's great. They're using your name. Yeah, well, it's better they use comfy than they use something else. Yeah, that's true. It's fine. We're going to try not to... We don't want to... We want people to use comfy. Like I said, it's better that people use comfy than something else. So as long as they use comfy, I think it helps the ecosystem. Because more people, even if they don't contribute directly, the fact that they are using comfy means that people are more likely to join the ecosystem. So, yeah.swyx [00:50:57]: And then would you ever do text?Comfy [00:50:59]: Yeah, well, you can already do text with some custom nodes. So, yeah, it's something we like. Yeah, it's something I've wanted to eventually add to core, but it's more like not a very... It's a very high priority. But because a lot of people use text for prompt enhancement and other things like that. So, yeah, it's just that my focus has always been on diffusion models. Yeah, unless some text diffusion model comes out.swyx [00:51:30]: Yeah, David Holtz is investing a lot in text diffusion.Comfy [00:51:34]: Yeah, well, if a good one comes out, then we'll probably implement it since it fits with the whole...swyx [00:51:39]: Yeah, I mean, I imagine it's going to be a close source to Midjourney. Yeah.Comfy [00:51:43]: Well, if an open one comes out, then I'll probably implement it.Alessio [00:51:54]: Cool, comfy. Thanks so much for coming on. This was fun. Bye.

Aujourd'hui, voici pourquoi Lisa Su, la PDG d'AMD, vient d'être nommée PDG de l'année 2024 par le magazine Time.Il faut dire qu'au milieu des annonces autour de la bataille de l'IA entre Qualcomm, Nvidia et Intel, AMD apparaît moins dans les titres de presse. Pourtant, la PDG de ce spécialiste de l'infrastructure vient d'être honorée.Alors pourquoi ce titre si prestigieux ?AMD a centuplé sa capitalisation boursièreEt bien pour commencer AMD a centuplé sa capitalisation boursière sous la direction de Lisa Su. En 2014, quand elle prend les commandes de ce géant des semi-conducteurs, l'entreprise traverse une période difficile.Mais grâce à une stratégie audacieuse et une vision claire, AMD est passé en 10 ans d'une capitalisation boursière de 2 milliards de dollars à plus de 200 milliards aujourd'hui.Un des plus grands tournants initié par la femme d'affaires a été le développement et la commercialisation de la gamme de processeurs AMD EPYC. Ce sont ces puces qui ont permis à AMD de devenir un acteur majeur dans les secteurs des serveurs informatiques et des centres de données. Sous le règne de Lisa Su, la part de marché de l'entreprise dans ce secteur est passée de 1 % à près de 34 %. De quoi damer le pion à l'éternel rival Intel, qui vient lui de perdre son PDG, mis de force à la retraite.Et les processeurs EPYC équipent aujourd'hui certains des superordinateurs les plus rapides et les plus économes en énergie au monde.La reine de l'innovationLe second point, c'est que Lisa Su est aussi une experte de l'innovation. Sous son leadership, AMD a investi massivement en recherche et développement, avec un montant de près de 6 milliards de dollars rien qu'en 2023.Ces investissements permettent à AMD de proposer désormais des solutions d'infrastructure pour l'intelligence artificielle, un domaine clé pour l'avenir.À titre d'exemple, AMD a récemment racheté Silo AI, un laboratoire d'IA en Europe, et ZT Systems, un fournisseur d'infrastructure spécialisé pour les géants du cloud.La plus grosse acquisition du secteur, c'est ellePour couronner le tout, Lisa Su a aussi marqué l'histoire des semi-conducteurs en réussissant la plus grosse acquisition jamais réalisée dans ce secteur. Il s'agit de celle de Xilinx, spécialiste de l'informatique adaptative.Une opération qui a fait d'AMD un leader incontournable du secteur.Née à Taïwan et diplômée du prestigieux Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lisa Su a toujours été une pionnière. Elle a commencé sa carrière chez IBM et pilote aujourd'hui une entreprise à la pointe de l'innovation.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast ! Abonnez-vous !Hébergé par Ausha.

Intel veröffentlich endlich mit Core Ultra 200S die neue Generation an Desktop-CPUs und sie sind... also... man kann sie jetzt kaufen. Ok, sie brauchen weniger Strom, aber auch eine neue Plattform. Naja gut. Qualcomm hatte dafür eine sehr aufregende Woche: Zuerst wurde das neue Halo-Produkt für Smartphones und Tablets vorgestellt, Snapdragon 8 Elite mit den neuen Oryon-2-Kernen. Oryon 1 bildet die Basis für Snapdragon X Elite in Laptops.Da liegt auch gleich das große Problem: Arm hat Qualcomm die Architektur-Lizenz entzogen. Mindestens Oryon 1 basiert nämlich auf Technologie von Nuvia, die Qualcomm im Frühjahr 2021 übernommen hatte. Nuvia hatte von Arm eine Architektur-Lizenz für Server-Chips. Arm findet es wiederum nicht ok, dass nun Qualcomm auf Basis dieser Server-Technologie, CPU-Kerne für den Consumer-Markt entwickelt (hat). Mal sehen, was da rauskommt. Vermutlich neue Abkommen und mehr Geld für Arm. Die bisherigen Snapdragon für Smartphones mit Cortex-Kernen (Technologie-Lizenz) sind davon nicht betroffen. Keine Flugtaxis aus Bayern, Söder tobt, wir zucken mit den Schultern: Volocopter-Entwickler Lilium ist insolvent. Das ist aber auch so ein Gebiet, je tiefer man hineinschaut, desto absurder kommt es einem vor. Es ist nun richtig Herbst, Zeit für Spiele, die dieses heimelige Gefühl von Geborgenheit vermitteln. Spiele wie Master of Orion 2, Rollercoaster Tycoon und Dark Souls. Habt ihr auch Spiele, bei denen ihr euch einfach "daheim" fühlt? Viel Spaß mit Folge 228!

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 214-points this morning from Friday's close, at 21,388 on turnover of 7.2-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Friday, as investors reacted to Wall Street declining overnight following mixed profit reports from some big tech companies and after an official survey showed Chinese factory activity weakening in May on slowing export orders.

In addition to Huang, female boxers Chen Nien-qin, Lin Yu-ting, and Wu Shi-yi and male boxers Kan Chia-wei and Lai Chu-en have also secured spots at the Summer Games. Ukraine Imposes Emergency Power Shutdowns Ukraine has imposed emergency power shutdowns in most of the country a day after Russia unleashed large-scale attacks on energy infrastructure (基礎設施). The shutdowns Sunday are in place in all but three regions of Ukraine. This comes after Saturday's drone and missile attack on energy targets that injured at least 19 people. Ukraine's state-owned power grid operator said the shutdowns affected both industrial and household consumers. Sustained Russian attacks on Ukraine's power grid in recent weeks have forced the government to institute nationwide rolling blackouts. Earlier this week, four U.S. officials, who requested anonymity, said President Joe Biden had given Ukraine the go-ahead to use American weaponry to strike inside Russia for the limited purpose of defending Kharkiv. Mexico Polls Close in Presidential Election Polls have closed in Mexico's presidential election, with the Latin American country poised to (將要) elect its first-ever female president.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 60-points this morning from Friday's close, at 19,466 on turnover of 6-billion N-T. The market fell to a record single-day drop on Friday amid rising tensions in the Middle East. This is despite Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing reporting its highest-ever first-quarter sales a day earlier. The weighted index ended the session down a record 774-points. Tai-Power President Asked to Remain in Office after Announcing his Resignation Premier Chen Chien-jen is urging Tai-Power President Wang Yao-ting to remain in his post. Wang announced his resignation this past weekend following a series of power outages in Taoyuan. Wang was taking responsibility for the power outages over the past few days and a tight power supply on April 15 due to generator trips. However, Cabinet spokesman Lin Zi-lun says the premier called Wang and left him a text message in an effort to persuade (說服) him to continue in his post. The Ministry of Economic Affairs says it is also working convince Wang to stay on. AUO Chairman Says Computex will be a Reflection of Tech Sector's Evolution A-U-O Chairman Paul Peng says this year's Computex will be the biggest since the coronavirus pandemic. Peng also serves as the chairman of Computex's co-organizer, the Taipei Computer Association. He says the theme of "Connecting AI" will boost the show's popularity. According to Peng, this year's event will feature some 1,500 exhibitors. There will be keynote speeches from people leading the A-I boom, including Nvidia's Jensen Huang, A-M-D's Lisa Su and Intel's Pat Gelsinger. Peng says new opportunities related to the emergence (緊急狀況) of A-I personal computers have ensured that those C-E-Os will be showing up. He says "especially with the growth of the I-T industry in the first half of 2024 being a bit lackluster." Iran Supreme Leader Dismisses Discussion on Israel Attack Iran's supreme leader has dismissed any discussion of whether Tehran's unprecedented drone-and-missile attack on Israel hit anything there. It's a tacit acknowledgment that few projectiles actually made it through to their targets despite launching a massive assault. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comments Sunday before senior military leaders didn't touch on the apparent (貌似) Israeli retaliatory strike Friday on the central city of Isfahan. Air defenses opened fire and Iran grounded commercial flights across much of the country. But analysts say recent moves suggest both are trying to dial back tensions following a series of escalatory attacks between them. Argentina Sees Violence A town in Argentina is seeing an unprecedented (史無前例的) wave of drug-related violence. AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports Brazil Conservatives Praise Musk Conservative Brazilians heaped praise on Elon Musk at a rally in the capital of Rio de Janeiro state supporting far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro. Musk is a target in an ongoing (不斷的) investigation over the dissemination (傳播) of fake news by supporters of Bolsonaro. Musk said the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, wouldn't comply with a high court justice's order to remove certain accounts accused of spreading disinformation. Musk recently accused the justice of suppressing free speech and violating Brazil's constitution. At Sunday's rally Bolsonaro and other speakers praised Musk as a defender of Brazil's freedom. They say he faces censorship by a crusading high court justice. That was the I.C.R.T. news, Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded every day in the afternoon.

Big news this week from the boardroom as Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, has announced her departure from the Cisco Board of Directors. The move comes as a surprise in a recent SEC filing and was announced without fanfare. Su had served on the Cisco board since 2019. She is also stepping down from the board of Analog Devices, a position she has held since 2016. There is speculation that this depature could signal that AMD will begin moving into the networking space more with a focus on DPU technology to compete against Cisco's entrenched posistions with networking hardware.

Today, we're bringing you something a little different. The Code Conference was this week, and we had a great time talking live onstage with all of our guests. We'll be sharing a lot of these conversations here in the coming days, and the first one we're sharing is my chat with Dr. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD.  Lisa and I spoke for half an hour, and we covered an incredible number of topics, especially about AI and the chip supply chain. The balance of supply and demand is overall in a pretty good place right now, Lisa told us, with the notable exception of these high-end GPUs powering all of the large AI models that everyone's running. The hottest GPU in the game is Nvidia's H100 chip. But AMD is working to compete with a new chip Lisa told us about called the MI300 that should be as fast as the H100. You'll also hear Lisa talk about what companies are doing to increase manufacturing capacity.  Finally, Lisa answered questions from the amazing Code audience and talked a lot about how much AMD is using AI inside the company right now. It's more than you think, although Lisa did say AI is not going to be designing chips all by itself anytime soon.  Okay, Dr. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD. Here we go.  Transcript: https://www.theverge.com/e/23658688 Links:  AI startup Lamini bets future on AMD's Instinct GPUs Biden signs $280 billion CHIPS and Science Act Pat Gelsinger came back to turn Intel around — here's how it's going Huawei's chip breakthrough poses new threat to Apple in China — and questions for Washington AMD expands AI product lineup with GPU-only Instinct MI300X Microsoft is reportedly helping AMD expand into AI chips US curbs AI chip exports from Nvidia and AMD to some Middle East countries Apple on the iPhone 15 Pro: 'It's Going to be the Best Game Console' Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge, and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

JON'S BIO: Jon Fortt is a media maven, hyper-connector and at the top of the game. Jon co-anchors CNBC's “Closing Bell: Overtime“ AND is the creator of “On the Other Hand” a clever and informative one-man debate that runs on the network's “Squawk Box,”  He previously co-anchored CNBC's “TechCheck”  and  “Squawk Alley”. Our conversation explores the power of communication from one of the best communicators in the media. He is a world class journalist who has done in-depth interviews with many CEOs including Microsoft's Sayta Nadella, Amazon's Andy Jassy and AMD's Lisa Su. He has interviewed many thousands of leaders and the lessons learned along the way have been formative to him and to those of us that watch him every day on CNBC and it led him to create Fortt Knox - a digital show he launched in 2016 that features in-depth 1:1 interviews with founders, CEOs and world-class innovators. Jon also created The Black Experience in America - an online resource for exploring history and culture. Before CNBC, he spent time at Fortune and Business 2.0 reporting tech, business and financial news. Jon graduated from DePauw University as a Media Fellow and a B.A. in English. Fun fact: He went to college with my wife who says he was as charismatic then as he is now.  “Media today provides many avenues for multiple perspectives to be heard” EPISODE OUTLINE: (0:00) - Intro (0:38) - Background (1:50) - Origins and the lessons we carry forever (3:28) - Interviewing is an art, like jazz; there is structure with improvisation  (4:12) - What makes for a good leader; studying and talking to so many (5:08) - Two key ingredients in the success recipe   (6:27) - Proudest accomplishment, biggest failure; family, career, real estate (9:21) - Media's evolution and the future  (11:33) - Working out; time marches on (12:36) - His walk-on song; stepping up to the plate (13:16) - Outro  JON RELATED LINKS: Jon's Wikipedia CNBC Anchor Profile at Closing Bell: Overtime On The Other Hand on Squawk Box Fortt Knox GENERAL INFO| TOP OF THE GAME: Official website: https://topofthegame-thepod.com/ RSS Feed: https://feed.podbean.com/topofthegame-thepod/feed.xml Hosting service show website: https://topofthegame-thepod.podbean.com/ Javier's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/javiersaade & Bio: https://tinyurl.com/36ufz6cs  SUPPORT & CONNECT: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/96934564 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551086203755 Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOPOFGAMEpod Subscribe on Podbean: https://www.podbean.com/site/podcatcher/index/blog/vLKLE1SKjf6G Email us: info@topofthegame-thepod.com   THANK YOU FOR LISTENING – AVAILABLE ON ALL MAJOR PLATFORMS

Most companies find success in different ways, but there's a secret sauce to ones that are leading innovators.  Behnam Tabrizi is a transformation expert and a faculty member in Stanford University's executive program. His book is  “Going on Offense: A Leader's Playbook for Perpetual Innovation.” Ricky Mulvey caught up with Tabrizi to discuss: - Tech companies with a cultural advantage. - Why Alphabet might have a bureaucracy problem.  - Lisa Su's “David and Goliath” story at Advanced Micro Devices Companies discussed: AAPL, MSFT, META, TSLA, AMD, ADBE, NVDA, AMZN, WHR Host: Ricky Mulvey Guest: Behnam Tabrizi Engineer: Rick Engdahl

Silicon transistors naturally get most of the attention. However, delicate silicon microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with movements that are often measured in angstroms are making some noise of their own (metaphorically, because you won't be able to hear those tiny vibrations!). By focusing in parallel on the MEMS device and the silicon processing required to build them, SiTime has been able to improve MEMS resonator performance “close to 100,000” times, says Fari Assaderaghi, EVP of Technology and Engineering at SiTime. Assaderaghi went on to state: “Timing is like an unsung hero that is behind the scenes, but its performance actually limits or enables certain performance characteristics that you see at the end systems.” Over his career, Fari learned many important lessons that he shares during this thoughtful interview. One of these is to “always go back to first principles.” He expounds on this by stating, “If you don't understand something, don't paper over it. Keep on digging.” He concludes with the warning, “There is no shortcut, and if the fundamental doesn't support it, eventually it's going to come and get you.”  Assaderaghi also learned to focus on your ultimate goal rather than what you think is possible. “If you start with what you want to achieve...you would be surprised that eventually what you thought was not possible, actually it is possible.” Our Moore's Lobby host, Daniel Bogndanoff, also discusses with Assaderaghi his fascinating personal journey. Over his career, Assaderaghi has had the pleasure of working alongside luminaries like Chenming Hu, the father of Finfets; Robert Dennard, the inventor of single-transistor DRAM; and Lisa Su, CEO of AMD.  Other highlights from this interview include:  -The unique SiTime culture that Fari credits to the CEO, Rajesh Vashist. -The importance of failure -The tuning of silicon's mechanical properties, not just electrical That's a wrap on Season 6 of Moore's Lobby.
