Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. The predictions are then fed into a MIP which is solved on the fly.

Performance isn’t just a technical concern: it affects everything from accessibility to usability to search engine optimization, and when baking it into the workflow, design decisions have to be informed by their performance implications. Looking back now, things seem to have changed quite significantly.

16% of respondents working with AI are using open source models. Many of the new open source models are much smaller and not as resource intensive but still deliver good results (especially when trained for a specific application). But 18% already have applications in production. Or is there still room for growth?

However, TCP is typically implemented in the operating system’s (OS’) kernel, a secure and more restricted environment, which for most OSes isn’t even open source. There have been efforts to add this with the TCP Fast Open extension; however, as discussed in part 1 , this has turned out to be difficult to deploy at scale.
