Chamath on all important "prefill" and "decode." in AI compute. Prefill is compute-bound； massive parallel GPUs win， so Nvidia dominates as context grows. Decode is memory-bandwidth bound as each next token depends on scanning what's already generated

Chamath 谈 AI 计算中至关重要的“预填充”与“解码”。预填充受计算能力限制；大规模并行 GPU 占优，因此随着上下文增长，Nvidia 占据主导。解码受内存带宽限制，因为每个后续 token 都依赖于扫描已生成的内容。
