Is this talking about Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5, is will this require Thunderbolt 6 when it comes out...
I don't think my cables are fast enough to load Ai, nor do I have it in my rack where I would be running an enterprise AI...
Stupid naming, why is everyone trying to cause confusion and why are so few getting into trouble for it. Maybe the original owners of the name should loose access as they are not enforcing the Trademark.
Trademarks are generally confined to their trade, like how dove soap and dove chocolate aren't at all affiliated? I guess they figured nobody would confuse cables for programs
I can see that, but with tech if feels extra close as the name will certainly end up on a non descript bullet point list of compatibilities together somewhere, or it will be thought of as an accessory to each other.
Thunderbolt Ai is an tool for managing Ai running on thunderbolt rdma network configurations.... that kinda thing. It's hard picking a good name, but this feels like something a org would want to avoid getting to close to.
