An AnandTech Interview with Jim Keller: 'The Laziest Person at Tesla'

I’ve spoken about Jim Keller many times on AnandTech. In the world of semiconductor design, his name draws attention, simply by the number of large successful projects he has worked on, or led, that have created billions of dollars of revenue for those respective companies. His career spans DEC, AMD, SiByte, Broadcom, PA Semi, Apple, AMD (again), Tesla, Intel, and now he is at Tenstorrent as CTO, developing the next generation of scalable AI hardware. Jim’s work ethic has often been described as ‘enjoying a challenge’, and over the years when I’ve spoken to him, he always wants to make sure that what he is doing is important in the global context. Today we’re publishing a transcript of a recent chat with Jim, now five months into his role at Tenstorrent, but moreso to talk about Jim the person, rather than simply Jim the engineer.
