inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
transformer — The neural network architecture behind modern AI models, built on attention — letting every word directly consider every other word in parallel.
Why it matters
Rubin's specs set the near-term ceiling for agentic inferenceRunning a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.Full definition → economics: 288GB of HBM4 at 22TB/s, 50 PFLOPS of NVFP4, NVLink 6 at 3,600GB/s, and a claimed 10x agentic throughput per watt over Blackwell.
