As hardware lead times and power constraints hit a ceiling, the competitive advantage in AI has shifted from chip volume to architectural efficiency. This article explores how JAX, Pallas, and Megakernels are redefining Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU) and providing the hardware-agnostic Universal Adapter needed to escape vendor lock-in.
